Hello, beautiful readers! For this week's What Do You See? prompt, Sadje provides us with the photo below and encourages to write about it.
I chose to write a tanka poem, which consists of five lines with a 5-7-5-7-7 syllabication format. The third line tends to be the pivot and applies to both the first two lines as well as the last two lines separately.

not among the dead
just hibernating, waiting
searching for new hope
our roots grow deep underground
we stand strong in tests of time
