Tanka New York City

Trees start to blossom Rising from the city streets New York battles on Thousands of eyes look upward Joy in the metropolis

My children were born in NYC where we lived for many years and I enjoyed reading this well-written Tanka! Have a great weekend, my friend! Pandita

Do I detect sarcasm or is it just my loathing of city life that persuades me to see it? Lines 2, 3 and 4 helped me believe that you were delivering a sarcastic twist and, frankly, I enjoyed thinking of it that way. I'm willing to be wrong, but I definitely see city dwellers denying themselves full Spring and settling for steel, glass and concrete delivered spring in your tanka. Again, I enjoyed it that way! All the best ... CayCay
