A tanka in response - a Poetry Friday post

[kellyrfineman]

Last month, we all wrote sonnets. Well, everyone in the poetry sisters except me wrote curtal sonnets, a form invented (or at least made popular) by Gerard Manley Hopkins. This month, we are each writing a tanka in response to somebody else's sonnet. I have been known to refer to a tanka as "a haiku pulling a trailer", but I've also discussed it

I am in love with the language you've used in this poem... feral, cauliflower, clusters, morsel.
It's so tiny but so, so rich!!

I loved the feral birdsong clocks!
Fun exchanges!

I love the image of white flower clusters as morsels for the tongue. Lovely!
