Reason A. Poteet Poet Tanka

The New Coolness 1, Tanka

tanka

the new coolness
resting in the old swing
without him
gaining courage
to rake the leaves

the new coolness
without him by my side
looking ahead
facing challenges
expecting snow

Vicky Tsiluma July 30, 2012 at 4:57 AM Lovely poem - well written. Love the use of snow to foreshadow the troubled times expected- (fortunately snow melts and ushers in sunshine).
