Hello, Gypsy!
Oh my goodness!
How creative and imaginative!
While your photograph/artwork adds to your excellent offering, the essence of your Tanka speaks loud and clear, and I smiled when I arrived at its conclusion. So..."the sun fails to play it cool," eh? Brilliant.

Thank you for sharing!

I liked the "crowned in technicolor blooms" and "sprinkled in dew" (maybe "with dew" ? not sure) but that pivots nicely to the reaching up to the sun who "tries to play it cool." Great use of personification!

Crowned in technicolor blooms--I like that line. Nice little poem. It has a good image of the spring nymph. Fails to play it cool? Does that mean she isn't cool like the weather or means she stirs up a storm in a way. Just curious.

    The sun is hot so trying to play it 'cool' is the twist or satori

A spring nymph of lakes, springs, rivers and fountains submerged from an aquatic plant having narrow leaves and small flowers. Could there be a tree that looks like a Greek goddess?
