Loved this one, William. I love chipmunks and red tailed hawks. Two tanka from two years ago:
Day 9: Reconnecting with innocent pleasures
“Hi red Cardinal”
“Hi pretty yellow birdie”
“Hello young Blue Jay”
“Look there goes Chippy the Munk”
All watch Benny lick my face
Decoder here if interested in that or seeing a picture of me as a one-year-old https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/embracing-my-inner-child-a23ffdd1b09f
This next one was my Gaiadynamic Divinity, Tanka for red tailed hawks:
Birds of prey soaring
Her majesty halts my walk
One hawk halts as well
It’s hovering motionless
Sublime proof of the Goddess
