Notes About The Poem

Winter Morn's Grass

balmy grass of dawn

outlining winter-brushed climb

as new sprouts open,

I search morn in veiled ascent

...to find sheen from godly light

You sold me on the first line, nette. I do not know about tankas but I love fresh dew covered grass, the feel and the smell.

Magnificent poem! Indeed, a soft voice --- from searching and finding the marvel of dawn's break--- that ends with the Source who creates this miracle every day!

You have painted magic and I felt visions of the divine through the glimpse of your morning." Finding tints from lightened gods" pins this brilliant tanka!
