Past and Future - Tanka.

Goldfinch60



On top of my hill

I look down into my life,

I see all was good.

I look up to the future,

And see all is wonderful.

      Good write Gold. That you on that horse?! We were on horses in 1066.

      • Goldfinch60

        Well I was on a horse, you were just holding the reins of my horse when you pointed upwards.

          Oh dear, so I was. If only I had not uttered that fateful line: 'Look up, Sire'. Why did I ask Harold to look up anyway?!

          A super write and one of my favourite pieces of music to go with it from way back when - although in danger of being over-played on Classic FM these days

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you Michael, yes it certainly is a fine piece of music, not that often played on Radio 3 but that piece of music has always been in my life, it was one of my father's favourite pieces.

            Andy,

            A short and sweet tanka complemented by an extraordinary video!
            After listening to my aunt crying with pain for a few hours, reading your delightful poem and listening to the musical video was heavenly! Thank you for sharing!

            My love to Joyce and to you!

            ~Laura~
