Spring Delights #TankaTuesday

Spring Delights

Open
all the windows
welcome the morning breeze
look at the pine branches
decked by tiny
cute guests.

They sing
rhythmically
flit in and out of leaves
dancing to the spring tunes
fill our hearts with
delight.

Perfect
time to step out
behold Mother Nature’s
awesome yellow attire –
fields of mustard
flowers.

Thanks to Selma and Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. The challenge this week is to write a Badger’s Hexastitch.

A Badger’s Hexastich is a poem of 6 lines with 2-4-6-6-4-2 syllables per line. It is unrhymed, with optional rising and falling end-words.

Thank you for reading my poetry.

    1. Yes, it’s a little chilly but blooming trees and flowers have ushered her in. Thank you for finding warmth in my words, dear friend.

  21. The poem is all spring. There’s a bounce in each verse that is full of good cheer. I could imagine the birds flying in and out of the pine trees. Beautiful, Balroop ji.

    1. Thank you Smitha. There are pine trees which I can see from my big windows, one of them so close that I can see these little, migratory birds singing and dancing almost all day.

      1. Oh my, what a joyous experience. I thought of Ooty and Kodaikanal while reading your poem, or perhaps Darjeeling and Nainital. Living in a place like that would provide the same experiencem

  22. This is a lovely poem that encapsulates the feeling of Spring so well. I love this line, ‘behold Mother Nature’s awesome yellow attire’. As you wrote, it refers to fields of mustard but ‘yellow attire’ also made me think of the sun in the sky, becoming more and more bright and radiant with each passing spring day. Reminds me of basking under the warmth of the sun as summer approaches. I hope you are having a wonderful Spring, Balroop. Wishing you well this season and take care 🙂

    1. You are so right, Mabel. The amazing colors that sun offers at various times of the day are around us in all the seasons. Wishing you the best of sun’s warmth. 🤗 Thank you for coming over to share your thoughts.

      1. So true, Balroop, the Sun does offer amazing colours at different times of the day, different shades of yellow and more. Always appreciate our chats. Take care ❤
