feathers straightened
a curlew strides along the shore
so calm, so kind
the waves continue to roll
with the wind, the wild weather

Thank you Laurie, we were all fine along the coast here. Some of the bridges were closed and they are now open again 💜 xxx

So lovely to see what a curlew looks like. ( at one time I worked on “curlew drive”) Your tanka picks up the humour and gentle look of this bird.

Thank you so much for your kind words Janice, so nice you can now put an image to the curlew. They are sweet characters and always seem to have a twinkle in their eye 🙂💖 xxx
