Tanka- Hummingbird
Wings all a flutter
floating your tiny body
midair, hovering
as you pull sweet nectar through
your efficient siphoned beak.

You captured these tiny birds well!
I love “efficient siphoned beak.” Those beaks are indeed efficient! Great tanka.
Wonderful use of the form!
Love this!
Love your efficiency in describing the hummingbird while making me think about their beauty.
Thanks for this.
Our 2 mimosa trees
are in prolific bloom,
their sweet nectar
has attracted a schoolhouse
of hummingbirds
How nice!
Your tankas inspire me!
Thanks!
