Great tanka Daver. Makes one wonder at the transient nature of our world.

Sounds like a heart gripping song, Daver! Maybe part of its appeal is that it leaves the listener wanting more? Thank you for going through my writes...some of those are too long. I should post something soon enough. Theodore might have been a bird, or the buccaneer (Sir Francis Drake), but here he is a teddy bear...a grubby one.:) Fed, but couldn't eat without a moveable mouth. Anyhow, best wishes to you!! Love, Mikki

My sentiments exactly. Do I detect a metaphor with a much deeper meaning in this one? Anyhow, Dave, you really got me to pondering. Also, thanks for pointing out my typo. God - I hate it when I miss those, but thank God for you. Love, Lainie

So true, Daver. The most beautiful songs end far too soon. I listen to them over and over again. Willie Nelson's "You Were Always on my Mind" is one of them. Still evokes much emotion even though I've heard it many times. Love you, Carolyn PS-I'm away on a fishing expedition until May 5.

Daver you are so right, that is why i always click on the repeat button on my CD player, so the song can play on and on. this was a very good and creative Tanka, really enjoyed, will put in my favorites. thank you for commenting on Window Sill.

So true Dave.. and sweet songs need to be replayed again and again to maintain their beauty ... CD's rock..luv.. and cable TV music channels rule as they play music 24/7 and the sounds are as lovely as your sweet words my friend..luv..
