summer on flight

tangy breeze fades off
    
 from sultry eve's rosette view…
        
       leaving summer mouths
    
  like a zing of Merlot wine…

          to taste last  kisses on flight

Very lovely, Nette. I love the Merlot reference. Hope things get better with your rain and all. Tough times ahead in this world. What weird times we live in

Passionate, romantic, descriptive with a kiss in the end which set it up to be a good contender for the contest. Way to go. Nette. 👍👏✍️. Sara K.

Awwwn "leaving summer mouths like a zing of Merlot wine…" gosh that's so beautiful and spellbinding! Your wordplay here feels so lyrical and luscious! With enticing aromas of the fading summer! I also love "sultry eve's rosette view" your imagery is absolutely ethereal in every way... such a gorgeous tanka you've woven, sweet Nette, perfect for the atmosphere and the theme! That title is also very clever! Best wishes to you for the contest, sending you soothing starlight and fairydust 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️💫💫🍂🍂
