She provides the image, we the story!!
Hidden Pearls
this world, my oyster…
when seeking path of wisdom
let my maps guide you
Inked
There was one and only one
that got in, under my skin.
Can still trace the marks he
left
indelibly printed on my soul.

ugh that second one...could go either good or bad...hoping those are good marks....
ReplyDeleteand ha, that first one is a little hot ginny....smiles.
I love the first and the second oh, yes...I can so identify with that sentiment...these are tenderly wrought, well done.
ReplyDeleteWow, full of punch and not a word wasted. Great Ginny!
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed both of them... they leave a mark.
ReplyDeleteMaking much from a very few words. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteTwo succinct poems which speak volumes. :)
ReplyDelete"Inked" is rather remarkable...
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I feel the connection between both.
ReplyDeleteGinny you have spoken lifetimes in a sigh here....beautiful writing!!
ReplyDelete'Inked' IS rather remarkable! Lovely.

..your Haiku is a refreshing one to read... your second poem, i'm not sure if it's a Tanaga but most likely i think it is...like Brian gives me two sides to contemplate with... great write... smiles...
ReplyDeleteNever heard of a Tanaga, had to look it up. Pretty close I guess, but for the last line. Thanks for enlightening me!
Delete..yup..pretty close...you had 9 in yout last line... Tanaga requires all 4 lines to have 7 syllables each whether rhymed or not... still, almost... smiles...
