#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 27
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.

Daffodils sprayed
With mellow shades of the sun
Their bosom carry
Warmth of the Earth; and promise
Of new life after Autumn

The evening clatters
Like Scrabble tiles in a pouch
Shuffled on game racks
Another day set aside,
With a few words in repose.

Mist rolls in heavy
An infinite firmament
Meets verdant hillocks
A chilly breeze is entrapped
In the cerulean hues

Blossoms in your hair
Resplendent in morning hues
They are now withered
In shades of a tired brown dusk
Homebound on the twilight train
