Colleen Chesebro has invited all Tanka Tuesday participants to pen a SPECIFIC FORM of SYLLABIC POETRY this week. She has chosen the Japanese IMAYO poem, with the subject being a BIRD. Here is a memory from my childhood…
We had a pair of finches – Java Temple Birds

They would sing to each other – their distinctive song
They took care of each other – we took care of them
