tugged gently in by sunshine
shrugs off winter ice
pale pink possibilities

Magnificent. I’m sure I’m right! Pink IS the word in my garden too. Loved seeing this. Thanks for sharing. Lovely words and pictures too.

there’s a lovely softness is this – a delicious contrast to the word “tugged” — I’ve had to stop and reread this several times, just because in its simplicity, it speaks with a lovely sense of hope and light!

Sangeetha, you captured the idiom of “being in the pink” which means to be in good health with your tanka. This is a lovely metaphor too. Your words let us find the meaning by ourselves. Bravo! ❤
