Poem # 1
The most Noble Loving Creature
Sits beside me with loving gentle kindness
Saying nothing but communicating always
Her gratitude and love permeate my Soul
Fill my heart and complete my life
-------------------------------------------
Poem # 2
My little girl, Sooki Soo
My heart swells, thinking of your life
All the joy, sweet happiness, sorrow
What I would give for one day
To say again how I love you
-------------------------------------
My Thanks to Yukiko from Petloss.com for inspiring me and instructing me on the correct construction of a Japanese Tanka Poem, even though these don't exactly match the criteria, you liked them and they were written spontaneously, in the true nature of a Tanka/Haiku Poem.
Domo Arigato Yukiko-san.
