Skylark, Tanka Journal 12,
Winter 2018 (6:2)
black feathers
scattered
under a bush—
the unspoken truth
gone forever
~
in an old book
a letter, ‘address unknown’
a million miles away
a new star is born,
another dies
A Poet in Time
One Poet's Writing Practice
A Poet in Time 
Even with tones of death, they are beautiful!
