Today as I was deciding on the painting Rekha
and drawn to this one
Arap Kurt posted this beautiful tanka, so in tune with the painting!

frozen smile
Wait for me says spring
this life is enough?
=======================
How does your inner bird sing to you?
What kind of bird is it? How can it,
does it bring spring to you?
Does it sing about patience? Or a nesting song?
Or a question for you to answer?
Or a soothing lullabye?
A wake up song?
How does it sing in your tanka?

blueberry bushes are budded
and protected by the snow
An open winter will cause
a poor crop in the summer
as they need snow cover.
