chatter chatter chat
the magpie in my head
open the cage
set it free
there is so little time...

I love writing--It's my joy, my therapy--my confession. I'm a performer, dancer, yoga and meditation instructor, write a poetry column for Rafu Shimpo. Growth and love of life is a key to my happiness.

One thought on “… a tanka”

  1. i love this poem .. the use of magpie wonderful .. and “setting it free” very relatable to so many people.
