daybreak
with the curtains drawn
my mind dark . . .
then, the warble
of a tui couple

  1. 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

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

    calandria – every place
    its own kind of sun
    housebound
    I take an evening stroll
    through the postcard

  3. Education showing individuals how to reason things out and showing them how to partitioned what is reality from what is broken confirmation, then our general public will turn out to be more uninformed until a more intelligent nation just walks over and takes our nation from under out unmindful noses.
