Waka Challenge Day 7

Our goal is to publish at least one waka a day from April 9 to May 9 in our second annual Waka Fest. Today's featured writer is Julie Romanko.

moments before dawn
a little bird sings sweetly
hope for the new day
joyful anticipation
inherent in her nature

beautiful bright green
soothing grass beneath bare feet
rejuvenating
energy flowing upward
a gift from our Mother Earth

By Julie Romanko

We hope you'll contribute a waka or two to our celebration. You can add it as a comment to this post on our web site, or email it to editor @ thereikidigest.com.
