reaching for warmth
quiet, silence, thought
dormancy, solitude, peace
growing contentment
sprout pushes through undergrowth
reaching for warmth and sunlight

I like nonesense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities. Dr. Seuss(1904-1991)

Good write on nature, gave me a vision of sunshine encouraging new life in a secluded and peaceful setting, beautiful.
Your Haiku and Tanka writes are getting better and better raskin, inspiring me to maybe write a couple myself! Again!
Good piece,
Dave
thanks
Dave, I appreciate your comment. This one is related to the previous tanka they are kind of a personal growth series of something I went through years ago. Roots form in darkness before we can grow in the light. raskin
Dear raskin
raskin;
I consider a possibility of overcoming the difference in language culture, especially the problem of 31 cyllables,
reading your Tanka and also writing my own Haiku and Tanka.
So, on trial, I freely translated your Tanka of today into Japanese as folowing. If you have the original Japanese Tanka of you of today, please show me it.
Freely translation;
Yasurakana
nemuri no naka no
omoi hete
me wa dochu yori
shun-yo ni izu
Tadami Yamada
Thank you Tadami Yamada
for your translation, I'm glad you liked this tanka. raskin
