All The Life Poem by Glen Kappy
All The Life
from "While Passing Through"/Summer
Gray light—summer dawn.
Three raccoons—two big, one small
make storm drain exit—
O all the life that thrives
apart from daylight eyes!
Nature is colossal and awesome! what we see through our small eyes is just a wee bit. A Tanka that portrays the animals with changing seasons, day light and darkness. Beautifully written, dear Glen.
thank you, geeta. " colossal and awesome" —i like that! it's impossible to exaggerate all there is in nature and all it means to us. -glen
'Nature is irrepressible' - - I agree what you said in your comment below.There is so much to " Nature'.We see a miniscule part.A lovely Tanka that affirms 'Life' when it says- - 'O all the life that thrives apart from daylight eyes! '
Yes, so much, and we’re so dependent on it and in so many ways. Thank you for your comment, Bharati. -Glen
hey, smoky! thanks for your comment—the first! all the life that goes on without us and even apart from our notice gives me hope. nature is irrepressible! -glen

Hey, Dillip. I just accidentally sent an incomplete message—easy to do on this iPad. Anyway, thanks much for your affirmation. -Glen
Thank you, Dillip. For this particular tanka I owe "the accident" of being out early to witness this raccoon famil
