Little One You Look

A black and white Boston Terrier wearing a pink hoodie laying on a gray and white fuzzy blanket.

little one you look

so cute in your pink hoodie and

i think how i’ve known

you for ten years little pup

little girl with more gray hairs

Pad of Butter On (Tanka)

March 4, 2024March 3, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
sunset over snow covered mountains

pad of butter on

toasted bread cup of green tea

thoughts twist and turn in

dawn light a sip a bite of

memories waking screaming
