straining to listen
bird song rings through empty woods
gathered violets
trace a world that is troubled
crow caws warn of consequence

Franci, I love the name of your blog! Your tanka draws attention to the plight of the world right now. The birds always know when things aren’t right, don’t they? 💜
Thank you, Colleen. I feel the new name better reflects my thoughts and that my blog has more of a theme to it. Yes, birds and nature’s critters have very keen senses. 💛
I agree! This is so you. I love the colors too! 💜💜💜

Birds and animals – they know!! The only animals that don’t listen seem to be humans… A skill along with empathy that needs to be taught early in life.
So very true, Jules!
Sadly beautiful, Eugenia.
Thank you.
Gorgeous and astute Eugi!💖💖
Thank you, Cindy! 💛💛

Great poem, Eugenia! I love your alliteration and how you used nature and animals to warn of danger. 🙂
