Tanka 1
Author:
R. Walter Smith PM
Tanka, a Japanese form of poetry that is older than haiku which consists of 31 onji morae, though in this case I use 31 syllables in phrases of 5-7-5-7-7.

Two happy children

Living in a state of bliss

Smiling up at me

I tear up as I realize

Like all things, they too will die.
