*-* Big Tom, Story, Friends (3 Tanka) Poem by Ben Gieske
*-* Big Tom, Story, Friends (3 Tanka)
big tom
spilling into towns
beware
aggressive bird
with spurs
all too visible
mountain lion’s story
in the snow
children can only try
to cover their tracks
white bird
on rhino’s back
sometimes
I wonder
about friends

You paint these three tankas with an ink brush, Ben. Each image, a flourish of black. Each making a distinctive and indelible impression. Fine work. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
