oxford cap flies high
vibrant hood pats on the back
ironed gown cringes
shy to take certificate
from his father's old cracked hands

:) a good tanka (even if I prefer the other one.. you know which one) - the note is funny, too ;)
'tanka' seems good- it doesn't discriminate between human and nature per se: -p but then 'classical haiku is difficult to catch and that's why the charm! Thank you for nice comments ☺
