Tanka




rain again last night
temperatures above freezing
two cocoons wait

it's been a long, dark winter
the right moment is coming

This tanka is for Margarita Engle's ditty challenge at Today's Little Ditty.

It can also serve as a companion PO-EMotion for the first word in my Poetry Month challenge: ANTICIPATION.

    And like that moment you describe, this tanka was totally worth the wait, Mary Lee! Sharing on my FB author's page today.

    This is lovely. I read it the other day, have been thinking about it since, and came back to read it again today. Thank you for sharing!
