June

Talia Garza Hernandez

Tanka
Creeping herbs they look
gorgeous on the short stones
brighten the morning  
its pink inflorescences
appropriate for this warm month

    Wow, what a beautiful June poem! The imagery of the creeping herbs on the short stones is so vivid and captivating. It really paints a picture of a serene and tranquil morning. The use of the color pink in the description of the inflorescences is particularly lovely, and perfectly suited for the warmth of this month.

    If I may offer a suggestion for improvement, I would love to see a bit more length and depth to the poem. Perhaps you could explore more of the emotions or feelings associated with this scene, or delve into the symbolism behind the creeping herbs and pink inflorescences. Adding in some additional sensory details could also help to really bring the scene to life for the reader.

    Overall, though, I think this is a truly delightful poem that captures the essence of June perfectly. I can't wait to read more of your work!
