The space between
The snowfall and the first thaw:
Hidden yet real.
From barrenness there will be
Sweetness, sunshine — happiness.
Not silent spring yet:
I hear sparrows chirping, yet
Let us protect this.
Two poetic offerings, a tanka and a haiku, for Frank J. Tassone’s haikai challenge this week, spring equinox.
those first two lines perfectly sum it up!

The silence depends on how the birds share or not at the feeder 😉
And if the radio is on or not…
