watching my wife
a little girl again
playing in the snow
wondering where she's been
all this time

A lovely tanka, Paul. I guess we are all like a diamond, multi-faceted. It's great that you know different facets of your wife; more often than not, we only see the one projected towards us by that person. Hope this makes sense...

Hi John, Frank, Chico. Thank you for your comments.

Frank it makes perfect sense. 'Diamonds' I love that.

each of us
a diamond sparkling
on the earth

Chico, the child within is something we should all seek to nurture as we age and if we do then maybe the world will be a very different place.
