I Feel Like I'm Cheating

I feel like I’m cheating,

when I,

use 

my granddaughter’s favorite bowl. 

I can hear her saying,

"That’s mine, Greema!"

Though she’s miles and miles away. 

I smile, and

Use it 

gleefully, secretly pleased,

because,

It’s my favorite bowl,

as well. 

 
Eyes Wide

Eyes wide like the child

  Sipping sweet experience,

Sparkling stars in disarray,

  The twilight starts to gather,

End to end,

    So they begin,

To greet the moon,

    Each day.

or

Sparkilng stars in disarray 7

The twilights start to gather 7

end to end to greet the moon 7

And so they begin each day. 6

or as a tanka

Eyes wide like the child

Sipping sweet experience,

Sparkling stars shim,

And twilights start to gather,

End to end, so they begin,

Greetings the moon each day
