Cross-Border Marriage Tanka

Ninety-Second Entry, Coronavirus Poetry Diary, about a cross-border marriage 

rows of Americans

and a line of Canadians

along the border fence

in the sunlit breeze

the couple sign I do, I do ...

NeverEnding Story, July 18 2020

Note: The following poem could be read as a response tanka to the ninety-second entry: Life is going on and will go on even in the Time of Covid19

this year
another wedding
another baby …
we extend the old oak table,
squeeze in a few more chairs

Spent Blossoms, TSA Anthology, 2015
