A #Tanka for A Month with Yeats: Day 12…#poetry #haiku

Jane Doughertyโ€™s A Month with Yeats: Day 12โ€“

Todayโ€™s quote from the poetry of W.B. Yeats is taken from โ€˜The Rose of the Worldโ€™.
 
โ€˜He made the world to be a grassy road

Before her wandering feet.โ€™



meadow path

a panicked flight of birds

from the chainsawsโ€™ roar

for all green spaces must yield

to the Developersโ€™ thirst!
