scooping out seeds
from butternut squash,
allowing the orange ripeness
to permeate

In retrospect, I suppose I didn't need to say "orange." But it was sooo orange. ;)

I like "orange" - it makes the color more vivid when I say the word. I like your poems and would like to mention tanka on my blog and list you on my blogroll. I hope that's all right with you.
ReplyDeleteHi, Ellen. Thanks for your feedback; glad "orange" works for you. I'd be delighted to be included on your blogroll - and for you to mention tanka! Little by little, the English-language tanka community continues to grow, and I'm happy to help if I can to get the word out about it. :)
