~ Tara R.

box of wooden toys

Years pass too quickly
Tiny blocks and wooden tops
Childhood mementos
Paint fades, memories ne’er will
Kept safe in a mother’s heart

Submitted to Weekly Writing Challenge: Traditional tanka contain five lines instead of haiku’s three, and 31 syllables instead of 17. The structure is that of a haiku followed by two additional lines of seven syllables each: 5-7-5-7-7.

    I see it shining plain,
    The happy highways where I went
    And cannot come again”
