About This Poem

Tanka to my three girls, Molly, Gracie and Zoe

                                  Tis with woeful eyes,


                               As I watch you leave again,

                                   When will you return?


                               Or is this our last goodbye



                              I’ll wait on the porch till night

    This makes me think that all three of your girls were going off to college perhaps? It is the kind of poem that goes along with how parents must be feeling after the Newtown incident as well. I really like this tanka, Michael. It's so nice making your acquaintance here, and it's nice to know you are friends with Rick. He is a very poetic guy as well!!
