Tanka. I have no clue being an ignoramus. Lovely form though, in tune with the painting. Gotta pull a Susan now and Google. Bye. Patrick

A tanka it is Pea -- and up to your fine abilities my dear friend. The willow is the sage of verse and prophet for encounters of the heart. I bid you love and peace. Jon Michael

Beautiful tanka for a beautiful painting. By the way...no snow here but it is a cold winter so far...it is down to the high 50's and low 60's here in California...I have never had to wear my long sleeve shirts so long before...it does take some getting used to.
