Tanka: Love at First Sight

Loch Laggan

a black whippet in a winter coat gazing out across Loch Laggan
a blue and white whippet in a winter jacket drinking from the loch

one more glance
one more sip
drinking it all in
for love, for poetry
the landscape at first sight

  19. You take the most stunning photos, Xenia! Honestly, I’m in awe of the vistas that you are surrounded with. What a perfect place for your dogs to romp and for you to be inspired with your lovely tanka. It always feels so calming and serene over here.
