Chaos and order
march side by side, commingling
thwarting, supporting
our passions flare up, subside
love and hate, coexisting.
* * * * *
fallen, aroma inhaled
acknowledged beauty
extinguished for those it loves
and dispersed; a mother's heart.
* * * * *
White is springs breath
whispering sweet endearments
into winter's ear
you promised undying love
'til seasons end. Au revoir!

These three poems are my attempt at Tanka's for Imaginary Garden with Real Toads challenge. Who would have thought five lines could be so difficult!? Not sure I succeeded and I am awaiting Grace's (the host of this challenge) input. If one doesn't try, one never gets better! So, hop on over and think about trying it yourself! Everyone is welcome in this very friendly garden.

First, I want to live in that white-picket-fence neighborhood. What a beautiful photo.
Then, I love "spring's breath whispering sweet endearments into winter's ear"! What a beautiful idea.

Beautiful poems, but not to be outshined by your photography. Glad to have you back writing again.
I think you did a wonderful job! I really loved that last one the most.

Such tangible words and images: I can almost smell the scents of Spring.

Beautiful efforts, super expressive words and imagery. I'm drawn to the mother's heart tanka and bunny wading in blooms image! :)
