Lovely tanka. I can relate to the sentiment!
Anne, I didn’t know the word “tui”, and researched Wikipedia’s entry. Rich for me it was, doing that.
Characteristics of the tui bird, also known as parson bird, brought unexpected meaning and nuances to your tanka. (Sweet)
So happy to have been with your tanka this late afternoon.
Thanks,
Frances

I can also relate. Didn't know what a tui was, but warble gave it away. :) Lovely.

Ah, yes, drawn curtains, on a sunny day, not just at night, both have their reasons.

Wonderful tanka! Love the contrast of the warbling.
