I pick a price tag
from her over-sized sunnies
at a café table ...
what does she see
through the Gucci lens ?
_______________
softly I read
tanka from a journal
to my ill mother ...
sunlight sprinkled
across our page
_______________
waiting to hear
from the hospital
a third time ...
wondering when
the rain clouds will break

Hospital stays, doctor's visits, and waiting for test results are very stressful times..Reading Tankas seem to help ease the wait..Enjoyed reading your work..

A well-thought out poem filled with disarming emotion and anxiety.
ReplyDeleteI especially enjoyed the third Tanka, that was a very illustrious piece. You have amazed me by the talent you prescribe with these poems. Great work.
