I thought this week had a Friday in it. Nope. I'll respond to your poems today.
I miss Karen being a part of this group. An empty chair.
I Need a Title???? Help.
A cow bawls and bawls
in the dark of the night.
I lie in a distant hermitage
listening.
My own sorrows swell.
Here, I don’t know what
I’ve wandered into—
unknown skies,
cedar trees, a bawling cow.
Surely brokenness
goes with such a noisy voice.
I contemplate joining the cow.
Maybe if I had an old-fashioned
sit-down, sobbing time....
The next morning a young nun,
bright-eyed and full of delight,
meets me on the road saying,
A calf! a calf was born last night!
