About This Poem

Reflecting

My white wedding dress
  Now on my eldest daughter
    Twirling in mirror
      I hope in twenty years she
        Won’t be invisible too


10/15/12
For the "Tanka- Love and Marriage"  and "Tanka - the pivot" contest

    Congratulations on winning an Honorable Mention in my contest, TANKA - THE PIVOT, Susan. Pity about the capital letters - it was one of the rules of the contest. This is an amazing write and I could identify with the emotions which this scene had evoked. I hear a deep sigh in the punchline. Love, Su

    Awesome. Meditative. Short sweet, joyfilled,reflective and sad in so few words. I think it's masterful.
