Old Shirt

I loved that old shirt.
I had it for fifteen years.
It fit like a glove.
I tore it into rags today.
Soon, someone will spread my ashes.

Excellent topic that you have chosen here in this featured Tanka. I am hoping that you will have many more Tankas, Haiku, and every kind known to man and even your own design in the future. Sara
