Lost Tomatoes

by Val Crisson

Ripe red tomatoes
hang heavy on August vines
ready to be canned
Old Kerr Jars left empty
I long for my Mother's voice

Recognized


I love writing tanka, and I do like that every line does not have to have the exact syllable count. FYI, Kerr Jars are the old canning jars of my Mother's generation.
