tanka and micropoetry by gennepher


***

curious quality
of
the dream
where all things
are possible

***


***

alive
and
fluttering
the butterfly
within

***

the
dream
lives
in the tales
that are told

***


***

only when
she could entertain
a mind picture
then
she could understand

***

singing lullabyes
the unknown voice
lulled her to sleep
it
watched over her

***


***

a tear
found
its path
winding
down her cheek

***

the words
in my
head
get tired
sometimes

***

going
round the clock
the second hand
slices
fragments of time

***

the
guilt
of
the refusal
remained

***


***

the
heart
remembers
even though
the roses have faded

***

I
miss
our conversations
which were still going
when dawn broke

***


***

with every stitch
she placed
a thought
finally
the hand made doll was ready

***

she
was
not seen
so she wondered
if she were the ghost

***


***

with writing
the voices
grew quieter
they
became the stories

***

the ghost thinker
who twists
words
from
their original memory

***


***

a
constant
reminder
the past
lurking

***
