Dear modern day Wordsworth,

You charmed and delighted me once more!

I don't know anyone on this site whose nature poems quicken my spirit as yours do, Tom. :)

This one brought a smile to my face. How could such a fountain not heighten your walk, make your feet a bit lighter. A trio of turtles just splashing away...in tanka time.

Very enjoyable Tom as it is true these attractions in a park does make the walk so much more enjoyable especially with the turtles discharging water arcs. Well done.

Hi, Treischel,
This excellent tanka poetry creating a vivid image with a few syllables. It meets the line syllable requirements of the form.

A colorful attraction to parkland as man imitates nature;
Life-like statues capture moments of nature at its sparkling best as summer continues in a well-penned tanka.

a charm-filled delight
when fountain heightens a walk Love double meaning of 'heightens'
this unlikely glimpse
beheld with ripples and splash Great line...evokes motion
turtles discharge water arcs 'spit water arcs'

Love the pic and the poem.

Regards:

A lovely poetic presentation of an enjoyable sight/landmark. The presentation is enjoyable as both the photo and the poem compliment well each other.
