Tanka: Memories

close up portrait of black whippet looking straight at the camera

the flow
of rock and turquoise waves
ocean’s beauty
between us on the shore
the memories keep growing

      2. Thank you dear Lillian, it’s Eivor in the photograph and he’s still with us, showing a few silver flecks in his fur as he’s getting older. He and Seamus (who passed away) are very alike in spirit 🙂💖🐕 xxx

    1. Thank you Bjorn, the ocean’ s turquoise colours in the West are very different from the sapphire blues of the seas in the East and carry their own memories for us 🙂💦
