twittering birds sing
of morning light, they banish
into yesterdays
the first crowing of roosters
those of a previous dawn

What you write and your art is so beautiful it's rarely something I'm able to do, but If I did I wish I were half as good as you are, and you definitely would have been my best Haiku and other stuff I can't pronounce, If I had any involvement still I five you and Doug, the best haiku haiga, what have you, awards lol
ReplyDeletei'm honoured, humble bow Lorraine, thanks for dropping in

Roosters do tend to hog the pre-dawn space while others have to wait their turn.
ReplyDeleteRoosters show more resilience perhaps! Nicely Gillena!

This tells me so much in so few words. A great tanka.
ReplyDeleteNice tanka Gillena, I had the idea that you were talking about Peter, who denied Jesus. Really an unique feeling this tanka gave me.
ReplyDeleteHappy you dropped in G.L.
