A Slow Day (tanka 2)
the sky did not fall
the winds of change did not blow
the boat was not rocked
the cat ignored the pigeons
the chickens did not come home.

Did they meet speeding cars when they crossed the road?

I do like the enjoyable mellow mood suffusing these pieces, Jim. Nothing is imminent, even though it is too cold here for beer. I had a fleeting concern about the white gas, possibly related to radon (I’m reading backwards … posts not words), but as I continued, I let it be. PS I have to mention the gorgeous sound of Hornby Island.

So you did, Jim, and thank you for the thought and the praise. I will go there now myself, travelling in the virtual world of internet…
