Chèvrefeuille's prompt is classical kigo - skylark (hibari) I do not know of this bird here in Trinidad and Tobago, so i did some research and came upon a poem To a Skylark by Shelley which is the inspiration to my response to the prompt. I couldnt fit my thought into a haiku so i wrote a tanka.
The skylark, more particularly its song, symbolizes ultimate joy. The speaker, Shelley in this case, asks the skylark to teach him this joy in order that he might give his poetry the same blithe quality of the skylark's song.

#Process Note: Pandora's Box - a legend
The god Prometheus stole fire from heaven to give to the human race, which originally consisted only of men. To punish humanity, the other gods created the first woman, the beautiful Pandora. As a gift, Zeus gave her a box, which she was told never to open. However, as soon as he was out of sight she took off the lid, and out swarmed all the troubles of the world, never to be recaptured. Only Hope was left in the box, stuck under the lid. Anything that looks ordinary but may produce unpredictable harmful results can thus be called a Pandora's box.
