a broken Mother...

I am shaken, shattered and ashamed that Nature finally feels the need to turn on us...

a broken Mother
disengaging from
thoughtless,
indifferent
children... #tanka

But still I find beauty in her and respect her...
and will continue to do so while I live... https://t.co/6QnApbcRLi

in huddled
winter worlds
a feathered invasion of
warm feisty colour
is most welcome#tanka

yesterday's colours...

yesterday's colours were
vibrant and alive
if I was lucky
today my living colours evolve
everyday#tanka

resilient
some autumn leaves
bravely cling
to colours of
other days#tanka
