Poem-A-Day Prompt 20: Two-in-one. Write a Gathering Poem. Write a Letting Go Poem. I’m going to do a tanka (5/7/5/7/7).

Hold for a moment.
Breathe out birds and words and joy.
Breathe out moss and stones and hope.
When I took in breath

birds, your moss and stones,
your sweet dawning joy. Each song
brings words of hope to my lips.
