Something New

What shall I write today?
Tanka, ninette, a lay?

The new form inviting,
it is so exciting!

Plan an outline or scheme,
then, a general theme.

Select a photograph –
warm my heart, cry, or laugh?

Take an erratic walk –
invite birds, plants to talk.

I conjure in my mind
all the words that I find.

The quiescent pen gone,
my creative game on!

I like that 'erratic walk,' Linda. Keep talking to those birds. I hear that they know all sorts of juicy secrets. Cheers, Gershon
