orphaned hearts

by judester

the chair sits empty
yet your spirit fills the house
memories conjure
laughter in anguish flecked smiles
you live on in orphaned hearts




Tanka Poetry Contest contest entry


Thanks to MoonWillow for the illustration. I lost my beloved mother in law last September and miss her every day. She would greet me every time with a 'hi hi hi' each time I entered the house. I find myself whispering hihihi whenever I enter her house now. Just makes me feel her again.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
