Excellent a tanka orphaned hearts by judester Tanka Poetry Contest contest entry Artwork by MoonWillow at FanArtReview.com

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