Morning Encounter
Blue jay skims low, lands
near a cottontail who twists
one long ear his way.
Bird chirps, flies off, leaves rabbit
chewing on what he relayed.

love this fully fleshed out encounter, including the rhyme
Nice tanka!
Delightfully vivid. Nice one, Chelsie!
Critters talkin.
Love it.
I find tanka a satisying form. You’ve done a great job!
Love this!
What a moment! Nicely captured, plays like a reel in my head.
Excellent! You captured a moment in nature!
This is very animated, and I can totally see blue jays being the pot-stirrers of the garden. Love it.
This is lovely!
Love your lines breaks here – they feel so intentional and heavy in how they add to the atmosphere!
I love the tanka, the way you worked it.
