TANKA TUESDAY # 60...TRICUBE

 

a time past
train travel
they dressed well

both wore hats
he bought her
lovely flowers

what's not changed
he reads the
newspaper

she could use
a cellphone
right now

the reason
perhaps they were
invented

we can't lunch
without them
nowadays

  6. I love the irony in this Rall, now we can't lunch without phones - but no longer have to dress up or give/receive flowers - I have nostalgia for a time I didn't know, how I would love not to feel overdressed when I put a skirt on! 💞

  7. I resisted a smart phone for a long time... I also try not to doom scroll or check it every two seconds. I like to observe what is around me. :)

    Well done.
