Paradise Found


Source unknown










birds of paradise
in mossy bed of desire
sing songs of summer
pining  to soar blue jay skies
spreading wings reaching new heights


sharing with dVerse
writing a Tanka

    A blue jay will be motivated to extend its reach. Certainly True!

    Short, sweet, and to the point. Makes me kinda sad that summer's already drawing to an end.
