soulful harvesting
a white playful horse gallops
while the cuckoo sings
the child dreams about new clothes
mother plans to repair, roof.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
For Farmers harvest season brings endless joy and prosperity, there is no happier time for the farmer than the time of harvest. What is more beautiful in his sight than a field of golden grain ready to be gathered, The farmer and his helpers can view the harvest with a great deal of satisfaction, for much hard work has been spent in the field—first plowing, then planting—and a great deal of patience. The harvesting of the crop is also hard work, but it is done with a light heart. This Tanka aims to catch that joy of farmer while his family plans their own things.

Asim Ji, with this tanka, you have explored diverse facets of a farmer's existence, wherein they exhibit immense endurance while awaiting the fruit of their labor, and those around them aspire for their own desires.

Beautiful tanka. Provokes the Nostalgic memories of my childhood, when the entire agricultural activities were done manually. At the time of harvesting, scores of people throng in the fields, for it is time of joy

The song of cuckoo is the song of joy and happiness that all around and involved in harvesting sings and enjoy. Great Imagery.

White playful horse is the pounding and a proud heart jumping with joy and the gallop is the eyes running from one end to another.
