Connie Marcum Wong Poet Tanka

Sunrise Tanka

in morning’s twilight
you arise, embraced by bird
songs in scarlet skies
oceans sparkle with your gaze
fingers of light bursts through clouds

dawn shines, portrays its 
sovereign self amidst the hues 
warmth endows its worth
growth glows in divine design
rainbows are formed in fine mist
