Thick mud on the grass.
How many seeds underneath
in silent elation
prepare their great revolution
out of soil's dark recesses.
tanka = a form of Japanese poetry, in a stanza of 5-7-5-7-7-syllable lines
Basically I write in Greek, my mother tongue, but, being an EFL teacher, I adore English, both modern and middle English and I feel that English is perfect for haikus and tankas!
