the live oaks sheltered and sunlight stippled the drive covering our heads - our Grandmother's cashmere shawl wrapped around all three of us

Lol you can't blame that one on me! I have a feeling that was your stance long before you met me lol.

An actual tanka... very nice :) I was chuckling at the "because I said so" in your contest rules and wanted to pass by. Hello Craig.

Hello Craig! Dropping by to say thank you for saying what you said about my haiku, that was really nice to know :) as for your tanka here, I really enjoy how you used the word "stipple" here... and of how this gives off calmness, security and comfort, that only a grandma can give...Ei, how cool is that? I read Cyndi's interpretation of grandpa in your haiku, and now you really intentionally made use of a grandparent :) I bet you got inspired by that ;)
