Tanka Tuesday Challenge #3 ...Mode

after  pink blossoms

cover us with their blankets
are they sad to go away

each year it's the same
they wait longing for summer

preparing for her return

IN Memory OF My Grandparents (WW2  immigrants )who used to play this music on

an old  vinyl record when I  was a small child

why is life so hard
so much pain and suffering

don't know how we get through it

writing a poem helps
plus fine  beautiful music
will forever sustain us

 

 

what must it be like

having two talented sons
both performing pianists

the parents must be

so proud and so delighted
gifting these treasures to us
