Lasting Memory

Castles of bliss pop with love and laughter... ;-) ~A "Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood." T. S. Eliot

delightful. Its brevity, its use of simple language, its masterful incorporation of feeling. People talk of tearjerkers. Well, this one's a smilejerker. And thanx much for it. My smile muscles can benefit from the exercise. Chuck PS: Coincidence strikes again. Surprising how often it occurs. My post this morning has to do with my interaction with a playful infant.

here's an idle thought: how about reshaping this into a tanka? And leaving the last word standing on its own? I don't know why, but this strikes me as a rather interesting and innovative structure, which would perfectly reflect the playfulness of your "snapshot" poem. Much love, ~Nina

This made me smile Beki lovely and I like Ninas suggestion I think she might be right , simply adored the images you leave us with, kids and grandparents , my kids lost most of their grandparents young and it often pains me that they missed moments like this one ... beautiful though its moments like those that are treasured ...
