It’s Carpe Diem‘s 4th anniversary month with special guest, Kala Ramesh. Also sharing with dVerse Poetics (see Lillian’s prompt) because this sunbird “razzle dazzles” me!
feathered malachite
iridescence shimmers in
delicate balance
sunbird stretches to blossom
sip of nectar’s sweet reward

Will try one more time – suspect my other replies went to your spam – so frustrating!
I am bedazzled by this – especially the shimmering iridescent – I imagine the humming bird’s wings moving so fast the beautiful colors blur and shimmer. I am bedazzled!

thanks 🙂

Feathered malachite… yes, you are a genius
Oct 05, 2016 @ 22:19:13
ha,ha,aha!

Simply beautiful

A sweet & natural response to the jazzy-prompt. Kudos for working with advance Japanese forms. I, too, struggle with that; like the tanka form, a little more breathing room.

“Tanka”, Glenn, for your comment!

Beautiful, feathered malachite truly dazzles :o)

Feathered malachite… a great phrase for a hummingbird
Oct 05, 2016 @ 17:08:47
This African bird is a malachite sunbird…poetically named.

Beautiful thoughts here.

Actually, the tanka and tan renga are two separate forms. If you wznt it to be tanka, then keep the lines together. If you want it to be tan renga, then separate the two lines..
Oct 05, 2016 @ 13:09:47
Thank you for clarifying that for me, Toni!
Oct 05, 2016 @ 12:18:04
Gorgeous words and imagery. The lovely razzle-dazzle of nature’s creatures never fails to uplift.
Oct 05, 2016 @ 13:07:10
Thank you for your comment…I appreciate it!

Nice. If you copy a tanka and paste then write over it you can pull the lines together.
Oct 04, 2016 @ 12:24:04
I usually separate the last two, like tan renga…what is considered proper form?
