Mona Karaki Poet Tanka

Moving On

There she was standing 
In her small tiny room
The city was so big 
Shining under the moon
She looked at her clothes in her closet
She was ready to pack
'How man times', she said to herself,
'Am I going to have to do that?!'
The case was still empty
But soon it would be
Filled up with some clothes along her memories
Filled up with tears and laughter and feelings so pure
Where she would go to 
She still wasn't sure
Sad feelings surrounded her
Tears she had to fight
Took the last look at the room
Then turned out the lights
And soon after walking 
In the darks of the night

The sun slowly cam up
Telling her,' it'll be alright!'
Moving on

Emile Pinet February 3, 2015 at 8:33 AM The words are clever and have a gentle and somewhat familiar pitch to help the reader release control over to the words and feel them within. Emile. Mona Karaki February 3, 2015 at 10:18 AM Thank you emile im glad you enjoyed it
