Tanka: Into the World

newly hatched
brimming with a lust for life
a cygnet
swimming beside his father
spring’s first hello

  • a cygnet in the water preening himself
  • a fully grown cygnet stepping onto a sandbar at low tide

at home
in the water, on land
a cygnet grows
strong wings, white feathers
autumn’s first farewell

  • a cygnet spreads his wings on the sandbar, his mother is preening behind him

The most spirited and independent of the seven cygnets has flown the nest and we wish him well on his new journey.
