Notes About The Poem

For the Tanka-Haiku Poetry Contest,
Sponsored by Oliver Mckeithan

Total Change

rainbow smiles abound
honey sun erased my frowns
olive green trees sing
in welcome warmth of noonday
laughing gold lilies crowd June

I'm no longer blue
as butterflies spread scent news
they're maroon in hue
