Waiting for a Waterfall

from the silent womb tiny wavelets wandered off to a silver flow, casting shallow golden sparks, deeper dark diamond shine. to welcome valleys hiding dancing butterflies, seeking nectar sips, fluttering beneath soft suns and shadowed, blind brooding moons. but the muse still longs for a broad, white waterfall spilling on the page, roaring waves of wonder-words, rolling into deeper minds.

Interesting, Jenish. Maybe you can weave the 'tiny wavelets' into a grand waterfall?

Yeah.. But the tiny wavelets scatter and fade, evaporating beneath scorching sunbeams... lol

A rewarding depiction that is fully enriching and warming in depth. Nature is admirably woven, nicely done.

All poets wish to have verses flowing down like a cataract 'with roaring waves of thunder words'. Beautiful Tanka series!
