sun unleashes warmth
                                   tulip-bulbs peek longingly
                                        bluebells scintillate 
                            with glee world wake from slumber 
                                    my elated heart flutters

Mala, this is indeed a joyful song of spring's return. Wonderfully chosen evocative words that "peek," "wake," "unleash" and "scintillate." This tanka reflects the energy of spring all in an Easter basket! Congratulations on your win! Blessings and hugs! Happy Easter!
