Thanks for your visit. I looked up geode and discovered that it starts with salt water on the inside…So that helped bring tears together in the piece. On my site is a page explaining the syllable counts of the short forms I used. While I understand there may be strict traditions concerning Japanese and American Japanese style poetry – I have always been a rebel and like to play with combining the forms.
I can see your words through the eyes of my Mother-in-law. We think that while we consider some health issues minor – at almost 90, I can see that she is overwhelmed will several challenges at once. And we are starting to see more and more the repeated questions and answers that where just had only hours ago in conversation.
This is beautiful Jlynn. And I love how you juxtaposed it onto the image. Geodes always remind me of how so many people hide their light and often their love, deep inside. Thank you for this one,

This is as near perfection as I’ve ever seen, Janice.
Thanks, Misk.
