This week I offer another poem about hope. It’s been on my mind a lot lately. One morning last week I woke to a sea of fog swirling through the trees, the grass, the trail path. Later it lifted, leaving the world just a little different. I also read a bit about the tanka, that 5-7-5-7-7 structure that starts with an image, transitions in the third line, and ends with a personal response.
Morning Fog
drooping daffodils
a blanket of silver grass
mist slowly rising
the world looms large and brighter
spirits soar on silent hope
Thanks, Heidi, for this week’s poetry roundup. Looking forward to reading!

I love the imagery you were left with while in the fog and when it lifted – spirit soaring! Thank you for sharing your poem. ; )

I especially like the image of “a blanket of silver grass.” Funny how the ordinary seems like a miracle when it has been hidden for a while.
