Anniversary “Imayo” for #TankaTuesday

/ boz bozeman

The Imayo poetry form has these guidelines. A bit of a tough one 🙂 Also, it’s supposed to be about a bird, and it is: Lovebirds

  • 4 lines (8 lines permissible)
  • 12 syllables per line divided as 7-5
  • make a pause space between the 7 and 5 syllables

As today is our 25th wedding anniversary, I will focus my poem on my wife and I.

The day after I met you, it was clear to me
That I would call you up soon: my body shivered 
And I knew that if I called, destiny calls too
And twenty-five years later, destiny rings true

It really has been a wonderful journey, and Patty has been an inspiration, a comfort, and my best friend. This one is for the love of my life! Happy Anniversary Patty!

***As always thank to Colleen M. Chesebro – the challenge is here.***
