“bathed in light…” a #tanka (2/20/24)

2/20/24: wake

bathed in light

dripping off a gutter

melting snow

this new twittering

as I wake

    I heard birds outside my window the other morning! That’s a bit early for them to have returned to mid-Michigan. Maybe we won’t have winter this year? Thanks so much for joining in!
