Out alone at last Seven, and rapt in lush green Seeds of verse were sown Yellow butterflies, hued blooms On our new street of fireflies

“Street of fireflies” i just love that. You write on any theme in any form in such creative and artistic manner, which really makes your poems stand out! Maybe i was 8 when I first wrote a poem , i dont remember but this really made my heart full reading this. Best wishes for the contest. Sending you light always

So is this how you found your poetic talent Evelyn. I your description so aptly artfully composed in your Tanka. I too loved the butterflies and fireflies (which I called fairies) back at that age. Hugs Maria

Very poetically written, Evelyn. You were only seven?

Did you write it in that time.? Gosh I don't think I wrote until age 8!

Thank you so much, Andrea. Yes, I was seven years old, and I had learned to dress myself, and had just been allowed to go out alone. Our old street had been lined with apartment buildings, and very little greenery. :)
