tanka prompt: what’s on top
.
Yesterday, as we were arriving home from Japan,
Gary gave the prompt “little surprises”
I was surprised that it was Tuesday (again)
and right in tune with the prompt.
It was hard to see on my phone,
while we were getting off the plane,
and even later,
what was “on top” of the stack of rocks in his picture.
I had to ask.
A little tree.
So subtle and sweet.
It reminded me of many things
we had seen on this journey
and everyday life too.
How what is on top of a building,
a statue,
a person’s head is important
and there for a reason,
sometimes accidental,
often purposeful.
Even when accidental,
it often acquires meaning
in the eye of the person looking.
.
What is “on top” of you, your head, your house,
something you see every day,
something memorable in travels,
or childhood,
what does it mean and can the significance, mystery, humor,
importance come alive
in your tanka?)

My response to the prompt:

above the world
gazing ball bright in sky
colorful aura glows
together in spirit
gaze together ~ Harvest Moon
