“ water of the clouds” ah how beautiful and clever is that opening line and how this flows too in such eloquence! I absolutely loved reading this. The way you paint imagery is so gorgeous! Your poem as always conveys a deeper meaning, and a reminder to take care and with time on your side, care and nurture, to witness young seedlings sprout! And grow: with love and care, amidst heavy skies, so much can grow and sprout through seeds we sow! Pleasure reading this. Sending you light

Dear Sara, What a beautiful reminder of growth and renewal. The imagery of the clouds nourishing the spring garden perfectly captures the essence of patience and nurturing. It's a lovely message that inspires hope and shows us that with time and care, even the smallest seeds can blossom into beautiful things. - Blessings, Daniel

A perfect poem for the Gardner. Not only will time and care generate fresh life, it will also produce a tasty salad. Thanks for this poem. I am ready for spring.

Nice, time to get ready for spring, poem, Sara. The Tanka form was a good choice for these thoughts. It takes a little love and care to bring new life to maturity, whether plants or people. Hugs, Bill
