since his death she spent
the days strolling archways of
their favourite park

never realising he was
walking peacefully with her

Prompt: Ramblings of a Writer, Weekly Tanka Prompt Challenge – Week 50, Words: park & peace

Dinner Interrupted

animal heads bowed
friends graze the juicy green fields
in peaceful sunshine

Waiting room

anxious, biding time

a name is called but not mine

a reprieve for now

dark thoughts fuel my fears, I think 

waiting is worse than knowing

The choice

This is my first attempt at Tanka using The Daily Post’s prompt, descend.

 

Poised upon the step

looking behind and ahead

I no longer know

if my journey is descent

or glorious emergence.
