Tanka: The Same Notes

haunting melody
from an empty boathouse
the same notes
spill over the loch
where the saxophonist played

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words dear Mary, it was a beautiful walk and we could hear someone play a saxophone by the loch, hidden from view. A Happy Thursday to you too and hugs from all of us here 🤗💖🐕 xxx
