While I Have Chemo














          planning our wedding
          in the hospital chapel
          while I have chemo
          I am not dying
          but a part of me is

  1. Thanks, Margaret - you are finally getting to read the ones I had in Presence this June! Another tanka to come later this week.

    Thanks, Jo - I've done one of my collage-style haiga with this tanka using real pearls from my Grandmother's broken necklace and an old-fashioned white lace handkerchief. It brings tears to my eyes every time.

    Blessings to you both! (((hugs)))
