Barbara Gorelick Poet Tanka

Time Marches On

Original Poem


whose face is looking back at me
is it my countenance that I see
mirror cracked with age

reminder of what used to be
the visage now the fates decree
life, another page


Last Line Poem


Life, another page
Today becomes tomorrow
We hardly notice
Until more yesterdays seen
Than tomorrow’s sunrises
