Heidi Sands Poet Tanka

Questions In Color

the sky turns pale blue
    above horizon brushed pink
          fallen moments shine
      I am struck by what I think 
   where did the precious time go?

Jim Slaughter September 6, 2022 at 1:19 PM Great piece, Heidi. Why is it, I wonder, that it doesn't seem "precious" at all when you think you have all the time in the world? But, boy! I sure ask myself that question a lot these days. Heidi Sands September 6, 2022 at 1:22 PM Good point Jim. Thank you for your input :)
