Daver Austin Poet Tanka

Old - Past- Over (Triple Tanka)

OLD – PAST – OVER  (triple Tanka)

i love those old tunes
played on my old victrola
there’s a needle scratch
but I don’t care    it’s times past
all those carefree days that passed

laying by the hour
listening to a simple tune
over and over
dreaming of my comely lass
who’s whispering “i love you”

drigo’s serenade
and by mischa elman played
over and over
i dread this moment’s end
old days    old loves    over
