#Tanka 47 — Sleeping Snails

Snail shells, ornate,
laid bare in February,
their seals intact.
Succulent shoots break cover;
gastropod heaven ascends.

Tanka #27 — Winter Solstice

Sun Through Winter Trees

Sun cuts low through trees
Squirrels burrow under roots
People chase daylight
Winter solstice then Christmas
Hibernation ~ if only ~
