Vergangenheit / Past (Sentanka)

Erinnerungen werden wach Verloren im Dickicht der Zeit Mitleidlose Vergangenheit Flüchtige Schrift auf gelbem Papier Tagebuch vergangener Jahre ------------------------------------------ Memories awake Lost in the thicket of time Past without pity Non-persistent letters on yellow paper A diary of bygone Years

Memories are there even if the journal is tossed and burned...Keep the creative pen flowing on fasinating topics ....Sara

So many people keep diaries, Gert. Some of us just keep collections of old poems that take us back to "bygone Years." Indeed, they are a reflection of our "Past without pity." Excellent tanka! Love, Carolyn
