Summoned

I hear a plaintive

Call: cooOOoo-woo-woo-woooo

That evokes in me

Extraordinary sadness

Yet the sun unyielding shines.

The lonely cry in the sun evokes a melancholy spirit for this bird, Albert. Sunshine songs should be filled with joy, so something is amiss. Quite a provocative tanka! Love, Carolyn
