I enjoyed this, Sujona. As I read it, it reminded me of a tanka I wrote last spring, when I was 54 (I'm 55 now) prompted by day 9 of Diana's 30-in-30 poetry prompts, https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/30-day-poetry-challenge-74ea5622134c , which was "Reconnecting with innocent pleasures." My tanka:

“Hi red Cardinal”

“Hi pretty yellow birdie”

“Hello young Blue Jay”

“Look there goes Chippy the Munk”

All watch Benny lick my face

If you or anyone else wants to read the two-paragraph explanation of the tanka, or see how cute I was as a one-year-old in the bathtub, https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/embracing-my-inner-child-a23ffdd1b09f
