Anna Cates
Spring Daze
Fuzzy caterpillar, thrilling the palm,
avian trills, tingling the ears,
a gentle warmth, swelling the swoon,
honied sunshine, glazing buzzing meadows…
the yellow hollow
filling
the hummingbird’s bill
filling
the yellow hollow

Hi Anna,
Your haibun is craftily crafted. I especially like the Tanka and do like the centered effect. Very creative and nicely positioned.
All the Best, Karina
The concrete aspect of the tanka and its palindromic nature are particularly compelling. Well done!
