Journal Of Journey

Dates and their import
I was raised to revere them
they are true benchmarks 
of  a mineral rich load
littered with capsules of time

Hi Howard, fantabulous tanka, as usual. I have messy writing journals, lol. Hope your Saturday is inspirational. Blessings to you and your family, friends. All the best. :))))

Good one, Howard. I like dates also but not as well as I do prunes. Thanks for sharing. Sara K

Sara, I appreciate your nice comment on this poem. And of course your sense of humour. On balance I like dates and prunes in equal measure. Howard
