My Lonely Heart Sighs

Late at night I reach

For someone who is not there.

Then I remember.....

And then my lonely heart sighs

`He will not be back' it says.







for "Blink" contest

Francine, A wonderful Tanka and entry for the contest. I don't want to know what it feels like to experience your last line. Of course I have lost those I love, but not my mate. Your poem was very poinant. It is sure to be in the winner's circle. Blessings, Connie

This is the first one I've read for the "Blink" contest, Franine, but there are many who can relate to the heartfelt emotions you expres so beautifully in your tanka. Very, very nice! Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
