#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 30 (Bonus)
Deep burnished sunset
Peeps through gossamer raindrops,
Horizon’s blushed glow
Monsoon hushed arrival, near
A rainbow takes baby steps.

Fate
#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 30
Wild stars in my grasp
Glitter fading to gravel
Escape from my palms
For constellations denied
To rewrite my destiny

Drenched in summer
Dense rhododendron beckon
Peach jam, plum preserve
A rickety bus hill-bound
Travelers seek sweet respite

Chasing distant stars
Winged dancer in the shadows
Twilight’s companion
Untutored soul seeking light,
Uncaged, fearless in its flight

Lush lavender fields,
Traveler’s eager eye seeks
Rows of vivid hues.
Yet here they sway, subtle grace,
Muted shades, all tinged with gray.
This tanka is inspired by a hot day in Italy when we walked next to lavender fields. It was a unique but underwhelming view because the colors were not as bright as we had imagined. Such is life; when we expect exuberance, but joy can come in subdued ways.
