Anniversary: a #Tanka-prose #ode

All the gifts of a twenty-year marriage, resting on the shores of a shared life, polished to perfection by the imperfection of an extraordinary love.

Anniversary

and a summer breeze blows

on a searing day

how this heartbreaking joy

overflows again, again

for Colleenโ€™s 2020 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 187 #PhotoPrompt
