My Morning Began (Tanka) Poem by Res John Burman

'Blackbird'

My morning began
Hunting for the Early Worm
Fuel for my life

It's a well fed blackbird sings
The most exquisite love songs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Grey Squirrel'

My morning began
Stealing that which was not mine
This is my nature

The Divine Hand that made me
Bade me thrive ~ so I obey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Mother's Headstone'

My morning began
Taking bluebells to Mother
Maybe the last time

However ~ the less I come
The closer our next meeting
....
