Today's Prompt is TANKA

Tanka consists of five units (often treated as separate lines when Romanized or translated) usually with the following pattern of onji:

5-7-5-7-7.

The 5-7-5 is called the kami-no-ku ("upper phrase"), and the 7-7 is called the shimo-no-ku ("lower phrase"). Tanka is a much older form of Japanese poetry than haiku.
any way you feel it... OURS IS...

Winters grip is here
holding life in a freeze frame
icy waves of white
yet there in the midst, a sign
that spring is soon on her way

Tee Hee Hee
my plants are ready for spring !
YOUR TURN
ENJOY
