For Colleen’s Tanka Tuesdays, writer’s choice of words. I chose bereft & faith
encased in ice
buds hold firm as
branches flail
winter winds on a rampage
harbinger of spring
takes a flogging

lollygagging mode
adrift to the days of old
a sense of well being –
recess bell spawns youthful dash –
dusty school yard – smell of rain

For Colleen’s Weekly Tanka Tuesday where the prompt words are synonyms of “slow & work”.
I used “lollygagging & spawn”.
Lollygagging…what’s not to love about that word. I can hear my Primary School teacher’s voice (Mrs Beckford), “stop lollygagging and get in with it!”

Steeped in nature,
Eavesdropping –
Mass flutter of wings
erase trickling rustle
of falling leaves
Sparrows on a lark
on pine branches
Call of the crow pierce
the babble of the creek
Unseen scurry under dried leaves
sends a shiver up my spine –
Eavesdropping halted!

there she is
in all her loveliness,
full winter moon
gazing through bare branches
