Pollination (Tanka)

*In splendid repose

One blooming rose lies gleaming

Hummingbirds kiss her

The wind whispers their secrets

As the pollen keeps drifting*

Notes: This is my first shot at a Tanka. Feedback is most welcome. I can’t really help getting somewhat anthropomorphic about it. Thanks Chaetura for reminding me of the word anthropomorphic.
