Just Where We Are

To stand in your love
emotions truly enriched
your lips upon mine
hold on to what we have now,
oh if we could alter time.

I am now going to go look for more of your works, you write with heart. I like that, no better than like, I love how you put things into heartfelt images. Robert Henry Poulin.

I love your poem: To stand in your love (usually tanka and haiku poets always use the first line as the poem title) Your lines 4 and 5 bring the poem together and give it sweet sadness. Harry, it is a beautiful very well constructed tanka worthy of an award and the way tanka should be.Very nice emotion. I like it much. Robert Henry Poulin
