My first dodoitsu, a Japanese poetry form new to me that I learned earlier this week from Kanzen Sakura. I’m sharing it today for dVerse Poets Pub Open Link Night #154.
I’m Not Ready
I am not ready
for autumn at all, pumpkin
spice everywhere, and rainfall
I guess at least there is soup
And here’s my second, because as I wrote the first sort of humorous one, a more serious poem came to mind as I thought of the memorial service I’ll be attending this afternoon for the wife of my old boss. I’m sure he was not ready for her to go.
I’m Not Ready
I am not ready
for her to be gone from me
but I know she was at peace
ready to fly away home
