Happy Clouds (a Tanka)
Happy Sam the snail
Slides over the dewy grass
While ebony clouds
Are contentedly smiling
On all creatures great and small

We should learn from Sam, to be happy, with, so very, little, and that’ll, reduce the problems in the world right now a whole, lot.

Thank you for appreciating my good natured poem Eugenia … tankas seem to suit me lately … on our walkies in the morning I take lots of photos and in the afternoon at the cafe I draft a poem 😊🌏😍🐌
