Also appearing in Skylark, a Tanka Journal, Volume 5, Issue 2, Winter 2017 is this piece of Tanka Art. The photograph was taken by me in the cemetery of Holy Trinity Church (where William Shakespeare is buried) in Stratford-Upon-Avon, UK in 2015.

Beautiful, but so sad.
Yes, indeed. It’s painful to think about how many children and babies were lost at such a young age. We are lucky to live in a time and culture where infant mortality is much lower than in the past. Thanks for leaving a comment, Michelle. ❤
Beautiful 💜
