The Monarch And The Tender Bud [ 4 Narrative Tanka ]

Rating: 5.0


It was a summer
So long ago, when you came
To pluck my blossom
I was just a tender bud
Blooming into a flower

You were a monarch
Hovering in the garden
Where I was growing
I was mesmerized by you
By your most colorful wings

I welcomed your touch
And your gentle caresses
On my soft petals
As you steal away my youth
And my innocence from me

In that long summer
I became a full flower
Blooming in your eyes
No longer a tender bud
Your love nourished me with warmth

A monarch hovering in the garden mesmerized mind with colourful wings and this was butterfly. A bud became flower and a nice friendship was made with blooming bud. An amazing and great imagery is drawn here...10
