Strawberry red skies
when home beckons through sage woods
Pink love's going down
as dewdrops on purple rose
prior to the velvet close
Flowers follow me
their fantasy fragrances
recalling burnt gold
Beauty's dying once again
in throes of rapture and pain
Beautiful! " Flowers follow me /their fantasy fragrances / recalling burnt gold" images that envelop the heart in a trance… top score.
Thank you for the happiness of gratification. Have a wonderful week.

A very well crafted Tanka depicting the wonders and beauty of nature. The lovely and compelling images made me.at close range with the strawberry red skies and the fragrant flowers.
I'm so pleased that the poem's imagery took you there. Thanks for your lovely comment.
