wishing seeds
cartwheel through warm air
how quiet
this fleeting moment
this belief in miracles
2nd Honorable Mention
Judge an'ya's comments:
Second Honorable Mention goes to Debbie Strange from Canada for this fine tanka. Her choice of words "wishing seeds" and "cartwheel" allow readers wonderful visuals. Once again as in Anne's tanka, the poetic device of repeating a phrase firstly in nature and again in reference to human life, proves to be quite effective.
