Found my way here via Pretti's poem today. Lovely sonnet and photo, William. Interesting how you use complete sentences and with line breaks maintain the form. Very cool.

Yes, the photo is lovely. Sitting on my front porch where I am at this moment, last week through the trees I spotted a flower on the land next door, went to take a picture, and saw that there were several growing wild by the road. https://photos.app.goo.gl/E8SEvdSP7i2fFd2a8

A few days ago, I was moved by the wind blowing the trees and wheat on the farm across the street to create this two-tanka-stanza poem: https://medium.com/@marcus17043/tanka-of-june-wind-43c141c07d80 Here's the first stanza:

"Wheatfield rolls like sea

Caribbean comes to mind

Warm ocean breezes

Gaia calmly smiles at me

Everything will be alright"

Back in April the site of a single pink tulip rising above and among a bunch of white daffodils inspired this tanka series, https://marcus17043.medium.com/a-love-poem-c5b0bff9d45f subtitled "Tanka series of timeless and interdimensional love here there and everywhere"
