What Is It? (Triple Tanka)
WHAT IS IT? (triple Tanka)
it comes over you
like nothing you’ve ever felt
then you must ponder –
are conditions different?
is it because it’s springtime?
is it the birdsong?
do they sing so much sweeter?
is it the green-rush -
how bare places are hidden?
is it because it’s springtime?
is it that old love?
I should say old love made new
is that what it is?
oh! how the body responds!
yes! it’s because it’s springtime
