tanka suite (cold wind, gray skies)

by dejohnsrld (Debbie)

tanka suite
 
cold wind, gray skies
snowflakes fall
like tears landing
on reddened cheeks
of children kept inside
 
cherry trees blossom
pink confetti floats in the breeze
like dreams
of children playing
in the treehouse
 
summer sun
wilts tender foliage
extra drink needed
as adults sit on porch
drinking sweet iced tea
 
autumn hues paint trail
squirrels scurry storing food
preparing for winter
 trading sleeveless shirts
for coat and boots

Thanks to jake'sstudio for the artwork

A personal note--some of you know what a time I have had with pain and doctor's who refuse to treat it. Today I saw a new doctor who prescribed some pain medicine---finally. I have only been on this quest for 11 months.

tanka--there are 4 here. Each is 5 lines and 31 syllables or less. (5-7-5-7-7 is not required)
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
