a brown bird
catches a butterfly
in its beak
and flies away

Love your tanka, Marilyn. How casually indeed all of life in this hurricane swirling around us.
Hi Marilyn—lovely to see your fine tanka here. Love that word "casually"!
Hi Marilyn – Thanks for the poem.

Yes, love the use of the word "casually"—it adds a philosophical element to your tanka.
