Rescue

Tanka should not be titled, but since it is requested, I titled this tanka poem" Rescue falling silently a windswept crown of petals lost with no hopes of rescue I extend my hand softly it comes to rest its velvet texture speaks to me my heart's accappella a tear drops the crown rescued Caro's tanka duet © 03.18.16

You are most welcome Caroline :) I was gone for a long time as well. Only put some of my poems back when I returned. I am glad you did not remove yours! :)
