Friend left ICU
We arrived to play word games
Hospital or no.
Underneath unspoken words
When will I go through this door?

Thank you, Lynn. 🙂
Viva! I got chills reading your words. Powerful and a wake-up call to us all. I’m glad you joined in. Many hugs, my friend. ❤
Thanks, Colleen. ❤ It was a wakeup call for me too. Tanka is challenging and I want to write more.
Such is life with friends, a different kind of poetry. And I have no idea if what I’ve written would ever qualify as any kind of poetry. I have learned that, as in many artistic pursuits, there are structures. I just can hardly believe that poetry has so many!
I love poetry because it can take any shape you wish. This is my first Tanka. It is like Haiku but has two more lines. I’m sure your poetry is poetry.

Wow! Thanks for the honor, Colleen. I’ve got goosebumps. ❤
