Carpe Diem tanka – Harbinger of spring

· by · in poetry, tanka. ·

ice slowly recedes
geese explore the warming lake
sunshine lights the scene
winter’s debris now in view
cleansing rain to follow soon

harbinger of spring
plowing skein that briefly rests –
‘mong the icicles
underneath the melting snow
winter’s hidden secrets show
