FROM A CHILD'S EYE
Marriage on canvas.
By the hands of little ones.
One meets another
and their wings begin to grow
together, by golden ring.

That was nice. The last line just jarred a touch.
I enjoy reading and writing tanka ~~ I certainly enjoyed yours!
Love your light touch to such not simple question...
Karen, I love your perfect little poem. And what a heroic shot of the Haring and it's space! 😸
If only we could retain the child's profound simplicity and acceptance as adults.
Yes, that just grows and grows ...!
ahh the wings do lend beauty.. they grow witha golden ring.. so beautiful!!
I love this! Have a great day!
Very sweet.

Nicely inspired good poetry
I like the perspective from child's eyes ~ Good one Karen ~
luv how you projected the innocence in your tanka
thank you for dropping in at my blog
much love...
Beautiful.
Sweet and tight. Love how the child-like tone does great honor to the title: children make sense of the most things in such easy ways.
Beautifully penned. A child's perspective eases out a lot of unnecessary complications of the adult world.
A lovely poem, Karen. :)
I like the quote you chose to go along with the picture and poem. All 3 work well together.
Very nice
So uplifting. Seems we were at opposite ends of the spectrum this week; you beginning and growing and me fading and ending.
I’ve never attempted a Tanka, but working to a specific form is always an an added, and enjoyable I think, challenge.
Loved it Karen.
Always like the point of view of little ones ~ Eddie :)
light and airy through the eyes of a child
OMG! What a beautiful Tanka for the work♡♡♡ Tanka is written in Chinese Character like this "短歌”in Japanese and these 2 words means 'short song'.
Yes, your poem sounds like beautiful song Karen♫♫♫
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Short and very sweet, but I do not get the part about the golden ring.
Simple and to the point.
I would like to grow wings! Very good my friend! Bekkie <3
