Jean Murray Poet Sedoka

Missing

I miss my childhood.
      Innocent, loved and carefree.
              Before you three were with me.
Now I miss you more.
      Since your own childhood has passed.
               I'm old and alone, alas.

Anita Harris August 11, 2017 at 8:14 AM I've been contemplating what the expected 'turn' in the 3rd and 6th line of sedoka might look like. Now, I see it in your poem--done very well! Jean Murray August 11, 2017 at 8:26 AM It's so nice to hear you say that Anita. Thank you.

Tim Smith August 10, 2017 at 6:32 PM Soon you can enjoy some grand babies Jean Murray August 10, 2017 at 6:55 PM No notion on any of them yet Tim. On the bright side, my baby will be flying home from New York on August 28th. Just off the phone to her. My sweet thing has ordered flowers for my birthday on the 12th. I am blessed.
