John W. Leys November 27, 2016 Formal Poetry, Poetry, Tanka

Unwritten Poems (a tanka)

Unwritten poems
Unexpressed feelings and thoughts
Lost, gone forever
Mourned my unborn baby boys,
They can never be replaced

I love this, John. My cousin, the poet Evangeline Paterson wrote a lovely poem ‘Is there a palace where vanished beauty goes when she was sixteen. I was much younger and it really sensitised me to the power of poetry. Yours reminded me of it today.
