fly gritty in the fall wind
squabbles rise like weeds
siblings spew vocal arrows
she spars to limit grievance

yet again, quiet beauty in short verse.
Yes, I had to go do a little research, but when I did, I was blown away by your poem. I love poems that can encompassed, the literal and metaphoric side of the coin, forcing me to go in-between the two. Talking about clever!
great! I like that last line "She spars to limit grievances"
a beautiiful tanka! lovely photograph! :)
had to read thrice to grasp its actual sense ! nice :)
Some powerful, but excellent, words in this one.
Great.
An incredible poem and image. Your talent continues to inspire. I particularly love the colours and lines in your image. Striking and stunning!
So much expressed with so few words! Beautiful image...I love the colors.
Love all three of your recent posts. The images are fantastic, almost surreal.
Yeah, I can hear the squabbles coming up like weeds in the quiet. Well done! A pleasure to visit here always.
squabbles rise like weeds... she spars to limit grievance...
these are excellent lines to a perfect tanka. hope all is well.
Beautiful...
I always think the fractal accompanying it is the best! Only to come here the following week and finding something "best-er":)
Your images are stunning! Perfectly complementing the excellent verses, always.
Great job on the tanka, but even more stunning is that pic! Love it!

Oh wow, the poem and image totally entangle my mind.
