Flora now retires Snuggles in for winters rest Dreaming of Spring blooms Dormant, yet Germ of Life Assures its' resurrection Flora now retreats From winters brutal forces Safe in earth bunkers Camouflaged by fresh white snow Green army vows Spring return Both tankas are about a common topic but with very different approaches. I thought I would put them together to show this contrast. (D.L.W.) 11-21-2000 |

One cannot but think of small elfin creatures curling up in the leaves to sleep the winter away... a most charming picture... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Beautiful hope of blooming promise. It cheers my heart to read these with all the mush outside in the cold that once was my garden. Wonderful contrasts too! Your talents are never ending, Bro! Love, Sis Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

i cant help thinking of the flora looking condescendingly at the white snow, petals pointed up in the air, uttering the infamous line "I'll be back"  lovely... |

I like the contrasting ways of saying the same thing. It's a nice idea to present them this way. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

How old is Flora now??? I thought she retired years ago-- It's about time she makes a retreat. (Hee hee) Kidding aside, You did good bro! Keep up the good work! David |
