Memorial Day
Weekend Speckled white and ash
Contrast green and soldiers seen
In uniform past.

Time
A quick jaunt in early morning
Time was on my side
A holiday wish with all our warnings
Good wishes do abide 🙏
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Rest In Peace
And thank you
For all the years
You fought tirelessly
For equal rights
Under the law.
With integrity
And class,
Reservation
And fierceness
Of a warming fire
That would burn through time
Before and now and forever .
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
RIP

Tanka
Flowers sent today
Valentine’s a sweet array
Swells the aroma
Of today’s remembrance
Echoes of Shakespeare’s semblance.
