as sun shimmers over warm lake, I reminisce —
skipping stones with dad

now, I watch him struggle to breathe in ICU —
my heart skips a beat

Author Notes
12/5 POEM - a new form created by Gypsy Blue Rose. The poem is inspired by Japanese poetry. It's imagistic and intuitive. In the first line (12 syllables) write a visual phrase about nature or human nature. In the second line write a juxtaposition pivotal phrase in relation to the first line. You may write one stanza of 12/5 alone or repeat as many times as you like.

If you would like to join the Haiku Club click here and look for it on the list of clubs. Let me know if I can help.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
