Eve Roper Poet Tanka

Notes About The Poem

Winds Folly

neath darkening sky
swept away, flowers take wing 
in winds brisk surfing
rustling leaves, swaying branches
weaving springtime morns glances

Sally Eslinger February 23, 2022 at 5:05 AM Hi. Eve! xox. Here you pen so many more than we poets love and commit to memory in spring. This needs no Good -Luck wish added for the contest. This poem stands high in its complete excellence of word choice, phrasing, rhyme, and flow. Bravo! sally

Joseph P. DiMino February 22, 2022 at 4:05 AM Splendid imagery...I hear you, loving spring best of all. Guessing, the other seasons just to keep us appreciative. I know, skiing is cool too. Not too found of raking leaves when the novelty of color has worn off...and summer in Phoenix, you want to be somewhere else.
