September Tanka and Haiku

a sail on the lake and the breeze has just come up how soon it is gone ---------------------------------------------------------------- give a parting kiss lest your love be lost to you each last moment new ------------------------------------------------------------ in your company I will never be lonely but should you leave me the sweet perfume of your skin will linger linger linger ----------------------------------------------------------------- one and one make two yet as I think about us one and one are? … one ------------------------------------------------------------------- dead letters cry out i’ve lifted the time worn lid my family box --------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a very delicate, intropective series, Daver. Feelings related to loss tie them together beautifully. The last one is especially well expressed. Excellent, dear friend. Hope your eyes are doing better. Love you, Carolyn
