over morning coffee
discussing who heard
a mouse’s footsteps
stress relief
a child finger painting
the sun
ever-changing
the paths that lead us to
the madhouse
Contemporary Tanka
young girl at dinner belle
crawling through milkman's dreams
dainty spider legs
trudging across greasy floors
her crisp smile & our bacon
Contemporary Tanka
morning begins
writing words that’ll disappear…
my lost notebook
like distant thunder taunting
small children with sidewalk chalk
