Jack Horne Poet Tanka

She Offered Flowers

"come fluttering words, come drifting words to me . . . "
A Rambling Poet

She offered flowers
To her dear spirit Juno,
Thanking her for life,
For yet another birthday,
And continued protection.

Jack Horne, 17th July, for Constance's 'What is she doing?' contest
