the death

of nextdoor lonely widow

her bali bamboo bell

tolls through the night

i miss her daily piano mozart

hi john,



thank you for linking with your lovely, evocative tanka

sheila



granny's death

the weeds beat in a frenzy

under the night storm

how stoically grandma has

taken all for the first time



rain spans the sky

as i see the torrents

beat down and the white laces

brush over the field

i long for his gentle touch



as she listens to the echo

in the giant shell

she longs for the solitude

where life's concern

is whittled down to peace of mind



pape mache elephant

as i squeeze its trunk

i realise it can go anyway

i want it to be

the freedom of creativity
