Day 9 of 𝘋𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘊.’s 30-Day Poetry Challenge

Embracing My Inner Child

A tanka of wide-eyed love and awe

Author’s earliest picture of himself

Day 9: Reconnecting with innocent pleasures

“Hi red Cardinal”
“Hi pretty yellow birdie”
“Hello young Blue Jay”
“Look there goes Chippy the Munk”
All watch Benny lick my face
