Winter vs. Spring
(Previously posted April 17, 2020)
The New Spring
The New Spring
Flowers bloom--freeze not
January grass is green
January grass is green
Winter never came
Daily walk with green
Baby rabbits run year 'round
Baby rabbits run year 'round
Climate change is here
April's baby birds
BioRhythmic Lunar Clock
Keeps calendar time
BioRhythmic Lunar Clock
Keeps calendar time
Humans much confused
This one goes jalopy spin
This one goes jalopy spin
Eagles on 8-track
Moon and stars doing just right
Mother Earth is out of whack
Moon and stars doing just right
Mother Earth is out of whack

I love them. Wow, baby rabbits all year round.........love the baby birds, too.
Hurrah for baby animals everywhere!
Actually, I rather like those years when winter never really comes! :)
I love them all! And actually the 4th is a kyoka. (Hope you don't mind me telling you.) The 5-line form is a tanka, but when it deals with human behaviour it is called a kyoka. The senryu is a haiku that deals with human behaviour.
We had a curiously warm winter too. It does make me nervous about what the summer will bring.
Thank you, Rosemsry!! I'll fix it soon. I knew Senryū but not kyoko.

Eagles on 8 track, now that is an image. I saw an eagle soaring yesterday and now this is humming in my head, do you have any Steve Miller on 8 track?
I wanna fly like an eagle
To the sea
Beautiful! I especially love; "Daily walk with green/Baby rabbits run year 'round/Climate change is here."
Hi there! Your tanka is my favorite ... I love writing them.
I don't actually have an 8 track player but, I found the reference interesting. Thank you for your kind comment.
I think I joined Mother Earth on that last one, Jim! I'm feeling a bit confused!!
The Earth may appear to be out of whack but shh, I think it is us really!
Love all of them...We humans have sent Mother Earth into a tailspin
Nicely done, Jim!
I used to have that old 8 track player and probably still have tapes stored away in some box of forgotten memories somewhere. These invoked a few memories, that's for sure
