The Swan

. Swan so vivid so graceful and courteous cascading on water tranquil like a dream... the bards so many times galvanized our thoughts And unto this day This very moment this very second again the swan ‘pon our lives embark

Oh yes! That grace, that beauty on your mind forever, but did you ever have swan for dinner? Seriously, this is tops, my friend. Love, Dave

Swans are an elegant question mark, that0's why sometimes they seem more human than human itself jojojo thanks a lot for the experience =D=D

Great peaceful feeling in this tanka, James, and the swans do evoke a dream-like quality. Swans are among nature's most beautiful creatures. It's fun to watch them "cascading on water." Very nice! Love, Carolyn
