transformation (Tanka)

Transformation (Tanka)

It can’t be denied
the almond tree is ugly
weak looking branches
its bark is grey and scabby
not a future beauty queen.


it can’t be denied
the almond tree is pretty
when covered in pink flowers
its bark is brown and healthy
a favoured bride of spring.
