Butterflies and Asters

On By Veera

Hey all!I’m back with my first set of tankas, titled “Butterflies and Asters”. Enjoy!

Larvae hatch from eggs,
Caterpillars weave cocoons,
The cycle of life;
Complete when butterflies soar,
Nature’s beauty symbolised;

Asters in full bloom,
Extend their hands in welcome,
Nature’s attendants,
Their services requited
With a brew of fantasy.

The Tanka:
The tanka is a thirty-one-syllable poem, traditionally written in a single unbroken line. A form of waka, Japanese song or verse, tanka translates as “short song,” and is better known in its five-line, 5/7/5/7/7 syllable count form.
