Tanka challenge 4/22/12
Apr. 22nd, 2012 10:07 amHey, Charlie One-Note!
Do you really need to greet
The world before dawn?
I might not mind as much if
You were more melodious.
There's some sort of bird in the tree on the side of the house that started a monotonous, almost mechanical chirping while it was still dark out. It's on the side I can't see from the third floor, but I can hear him through the open skylight. While we're at it, the kamikaze branch leaper slammed into the bedroom window right above my head yesterday morning at 6:40 AM.
Happy Earth Day.
EDIT:
Restive as a horse
My kite pulls against my hands
Into the bright sky.
I lean backward, squinting, and
Ride the impossible breeze.
Threw the nylon diamond kite in the back of the truck when I went out this morning to replace the bike pump. After a jaunt up to Target, I picked up some lunch and headed over to the patch between the Hornet and the soccer field, figuring it would be less crowded than the beach on a day like this. It was. This little kite is pretty simple and perfect to get one's kite flying chops back with. She bounced right up into the air from a standing start and demanded more line immediately.
