spring starts
awakening beneath snow

bittersweet ~ life’s cycle

For Ida and Angel
Angel was the pet cow of Ida and her grandchildren.
Passerbys would stop and pet Angel and feed her treats.
Angel recently passed away with Ida at her side as it
became obvious the time to leave was near.
RIP Angel

Kathabela Wilson prompt, Tanka Poets on Site
March 18, 2015 tanka prompt: rounded edges, “struggle against the straight line”
.
(Our poet friend Joan Stern
went on a trip to Antarctica,
and on the way back she stopped in Uraguay recently.
She came home with a signed print by Vilaro,
who designed many beautiful environments,
tileworks
and paintings.
.
He mentions his
“lifelong struggle against the straight line.”
Compared to Gaudi in his flowing,
unusual conceptions,
the organic nature
of the ebb and flow of shapes and motion
seems natural.
.
What rough edges have you smoothed,
corners, rounded?
.
How have you “struggled against the straight line”
in your work,
art,
psychology?)
