Journal 50 : Tanka Poem

Beautiful large lakes

Lakes with warm, warm water

Blue water glare on top

Rocks cover the place with steam

Blue sparkly water everywhere

Huge rock mountains
Rocks with cold, cold stone
Grey shiny glare on top
Rocks covered the place with steam
Grey shiny rocks everywhere

High bright shiny sky
Sky with a cool, cool breeze
Shiny sun glare on top
Lots of white clouds cover the place
