     Young oak clung to life
  Its tender green turning brown
     Earth, dry and hardened
Then came the rain that it craved
   Uprooting him from the ground

Oh I love this - it's now my favourite from your series of tankas!

It's a shame that no one else replied because this is a beautiful tanka.

Well at least I'm lucky enough to have read it

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
