Conceived at dawn (Tanka Couplet)

Poem Body

gentle brush of breeze
upon soft dewy petals
awakens desire

passion flower is excited
like a maiden is in wait

flutter bee alights
within her welcome embrace
to feast on nectar

consumed in the aftermath
she now dreams about babies

What a lovely Tanka couplet,

What a lovely Tanka couplet, raj. I believe there should be no alliterations, as in the first strophe, but you know better.
Altogether perfect. Title is suggestive of what's to come. I like the ending, the girl dreaming of babies, tho' that might be a bit old fashioned.
Enjoyed, no nits, Gracy

Hi Teddy...i know it's not intentional...can happen to anyone...for a moment I was surprised to see the numbers against the poem in stream which is rare for my poems...lol..
