First attempt at a tanka haiga.
Frank J. Tassone is the host of Haikai Challenge. Frank says:
This week, write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga) that alludes to clear [spring-] water (shimizu).

You have reached a quiet bamboo grove, where you will find an eclectic mix of nature, music, writing, and other creative arts. Tao-Talk is curated by a philosophical daoist who has thrown the net away.

Thank you, Ken. I bought a larch tree yesterday and am smitten by it. Will be posting more pics of it in the near future.

I can’t wait to show off pics of the new larch tree. Still trying to decide where to plant it.
