#Tanka 51 — Self-portrait (02)

Sadness, that blank page.
Now to draw a happy face
with magic pencil.
Hark! You gloomsters and doomsters,
Art wins the battle hands down.

#Tanka 49 & 50 — My Dog & I

Rewind that decade!
Side by side we almost flew,
chasing time and scents.
Labrador sleeked through meadow,
coat a-shimmer. A mirror.

Upon reflection,
side by side our hearts still fly,
with time the hounder.
We compete for silver now,
not of riches but of hair.

#Tanka 48 — Self-portrait (01)

Shadows, lines, no lies,
her age acknowledged full well;
she is where she is.
What of the child within:
that spark of rebellion?
