Spring Dream

in sweet harmony birds trill joyous on trees tops their songs drown the land as the wind on flowers kiss, I long for a pair of wings

What a magnificent tanka! Your presentation of the first three lines as your outer scene is so majestic. Then the pivot on the fourth line is just amazing plus the inner scene on the last line makes this masterpiece a stunning and unforgettable piece of gem. Being a tanka lover, I want to read this again and again. To my faves.

Thank you so much Milton.... ! I am new to all these forms . I have been familiar only with a limited number of poetic forms. If a poet of your stature says that this is in keeping with the requirement of tanka, I am so happy !
