                                   The clouds are breaking
                                  a prospect from the hilltop
                                   Visions have been starved
                                      Magnificent and awful 
                                Mother earth canceled the deal

Duke Beaufort December 17, 2024 at 7:43 AM Anne-Lise, you did really well with this. You have made this abstract enough so that I as a reader can ponder all kinds of scenarios. We do need to be very careful if we want to protect our existence overall. Who presumes to see the big picture or even knows what that is? You did something special here!

Joe Maverick December 14, 2024 at 11:53 PM Great imagery here Anne-Lise..I'm not a mother Nature believer as such.?? yet a strong poem to View and read.'

Valsa George December 11, 2024 at 9:10 PM I wonder from where you pick up such telling images! Great Tanka. These days nature takes an aggressive turn. When it rains, it rains in torrents. Great Tanka dear Anne. Love and hugs. Anne-Lise Andresen December 12, 2024 at 7:24 AM - Thank you very much, Valsa :) - hugs

Ink Empress December 11, 2024 at 7:28 AM This is such an inspiring artwork and also how youv written for the picture is so fitting!

Pleasure reading you always. Sending you light Anne-Lise Andresen December 11, 2024 at 11:04 AM - Thank you, Ink :) - hugs

Michael Tor December 10, 2024 at 9:57 PM She will get back at us for not taking care of her... Anne-Lise Andresen December 11, 2024 at 11:04 AM - you never know... we have to take care of our earth... thanks for your comment, Michael :) - hugs

Joseph P. DiMino December 10, 2024 at 2:43 PM She closes her eyes to much...like I do with my children, recalling what it is to be young. Love transcends all. She is ultimately in rocking-control -- and creation is her cradle of divine mystery. I have viewed most things from valleys -- my head out of the clouds. Somehow it will all work out for the best. Anne-Lise Andresen December 11, 2024 at 11:01 AM - Let's hope so, Joe :) - hugs
