When I Was Young…
Lightning/Rain Tanka
On night darkened porch
We watch the distant lightning
Await rain-cooled breezeCreaking 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
