Icicles forming
on limbs of stately oak tree's
winter gown of lace
as mornings rising sunbeams
dance rainbows to adorn her

Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.

Ellie,
Breath taking view! You've captured winters splendor! Well Done!

You have captured one of the most beautiful scenes of winter. A lot of description in a few words!

Oh this was great.
I dont like the cold though...brrrrr

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

Wow Ellie! Exquisitly expressed. I am not fond of Winter, but your tanka has made me change my mind, I'll learn to appreciate it more

Take care,
