sherku: visiting Dad 8

White wisps curl
From his cap
Stark reminders
Of his sister Fran
Sure family

Less talk more rest
Dad lays back
White hairs curl
From his cap
Clocks ticking
Fill the room

sherku: bamboo

There they were
ocean waves
in the snow
on the leaves
of the bending
bamboo trees

A found poem - in that all but one of the words Robert Brady wrote in a recent post.

Age may have
Shrunken his
Five foot nine inch
Frame but his
Heart remains
Marine size

Laying down
Surround sound

Foot steps crunch
Distinctly

Warm rain, melting snow

Nowhere to go
Wisps wisp wisp
Clouds the way
