[Space Cup Everyone's Tanka Contest Entry] My first tanka, carrying the kindness my son gave me
I haven't written a tanka since I studied it in school as a child, but since this is such a wonderful project, I decided to gather my courage and participate!
If Madoka Sasara hadn't reached out to me, I might never have found the courage to do this. Thank you so much, Madoka-san <(_ _)>✨
[Entry Tanka]
Picking a dandelion, he comes running to me, a first-grader's spring souvenir.
My son became a first-grader in elementary school this spring.
Until kindergarten, we always walked together.
Now, he has started coming home with his friends.
"Will he make it home safely?"
I waited for him at the door, my heart pounding.
-Ding-dong! Ding-dong!-
When I opened the door, my son ran up to me and told me to open my hand.
What he placed in my palm was a single dandelion☆
"I found it on the way home. I thought you'd be happy! It's a souvenir."
A spring souvenir from my son—it brought me a warmer feeling than the spring breeze, carried on that dandelion.
