Silk Cocoons

Gary Edward Geraci

 

 

Jubilant for me

(and you!) to light a single

silk thread of that which

enclosed you, fuse fired, to set

you loose so we might fly free.

    A fine Tanka Gary. Oh lol, I snigger. Many put 'loose' when it should be 'lose', e.g. when did you loose your hat?'
    Also a huge sigh by a shop says 'Stationary for sale!' heehee.

      That’s a nagging fear of mine: to write “lose” instead of “loose”, “chose” instead of “choose”, “colendar” instead of “calendar” - spell check isn’t going to save the day hear (get it? “hear” instead of “here”)
