Promises colorful days
Even a spring rain
Won’t dispel the happiness
Of a peaceful setting sun

How lovely this tanka is! Well done, Cheryl. Remember not to capitalize the first letter of each line. ❤

We should never capitalize Japanese poetry. The American forms are more liberal in capitalization, but then consider that syllabic poetry is written in phrases not sentences. ❤
