Morning Tea

Grandma’s morning tea
shared view of neighborhood street
from her rocking chair

When I Was Young…

Lightning/Rain Tanka

ronovan-writes

On night darkened porch
We watch the distant lightning
Await rain-cooled breeze

Creaking porch swing draped in quilt
Children’s feet tucked in for heat

-Clarence Holm

The Proposal

Moonlit heart event
Tender offer on a stoop.
Would she kindly be his wife?

A heart paused moment,
answer held in lover’s lips.
Yes, she whispered so softly

– Clarence Holm

(First attempt at Sedoka)
