Yes, this is so true, you captured it well in a beautiful Tanka. The Japanese forms of poetry are among my favorite. Very well written, truthfully and beautifully said. God bless, Amy :)

Great write, Jim. It has a touch of Robert Frost in it. Thank you for your kind comments and support. Best, Nigel
