Tanka for Father's Day

 my father's birthday

doesn't hurt as it once did

nor does Father's Day

pencil sketch retains his face

memory of his voice fades

Supportive

 

"Why do I buy more

owls?" I ask and he replies,

"For more-owl support."

with its one-sixth gravity

Copy Editor's Debut

seven-year-old me

puzzled over Babar's name--
