I wanted something suitably nature-oriented for this special One Shot Wednesday – since the party begins on Tuesday, after all, and this Tuesday is the summer solstice, the longest and (hopefully) most beautiful of days. My inspiration seemed cut off by grey clouds this morning, sadly, but with the afternoon there seems to have come a break in the haze of summer, treating my muse to blue skies and colored fields. In that same vein, I tried to step outside my usual, and go for a touch of tanka.
Hope the weather’s treating you all as kindly. May it be a fertile day for creativity!
Mother dances green
Before Father’s skyward kiss.
Sweet husband Golden
Pirouetting long shadows
Across her blossom billows.
And here’s a bit of greenery to put a little summer slant into your day…cheers!
