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

Cesar Cantu June 25, 2009 at 2:25 PM 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

Carolyn Devonshire June 25, 2009 at 8:25 AM 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
