The seed deep below,
Waits while winter holds hostage,
Reaches to the sky
When bitterness passes
Hope renewed soars on sunbeams

This is an especially good Tanka, I believe. I love the idea of a seed germinating with the hope of the new spring. I really love this! ❤

I do too. Don’t you think the Tanka are more expressive than Haiku?
