Tanka by Carol Purington
Carol and I created this post for April 6, 2017. Reprinted today as published then.
Driving home
through a swirl of snowflakes
on the seat beside me
eggplant
Easter lilies
Church
and a hymn about the future –
deciding
to plant sweet peas and potatoes
for my hungry neighbor
Waiting for tulips
and the touch of your hand
in farewell
you promised a postcard glimpse
of spring in another Land
