I have felt like this….not a pleasant feeling or thought, though you have made it sound so beautiful….I must google tau ku…the one word ‘forlorn’ is so powerful ….

Hi Becca,
I think your form and words work magic with the statue in the picture. It is as if that is truly what she is saying. I wonder if there are any words on her because if not then someone should inscribe the words you have written.
I find that is an interesting form and have never heard of it before either. You have truly done justice with it. Thanks for sharing it with all of us for this weeks Theme Thursday prompt.
Have a great weekend.
God bless.

(Will not post centered. Interesting theme. There are some wonderful artworks in cemeteries – though they are not my favorite of places. I think I read that this is the 18th storm of the season. 18 is a lucky number for some, here’s hoping luck will take Sandy out to sea. I’ll do my best to stay safe and dry – you too and any others who might be in harms way.)

It’s such an apropos verse in some ways. I’ve made it up to Kansas City, and the front has come through, and it was COLD tonight! Well, not really cold, but in the forties and windy – enough for this southern coaster to know things had changed!
And yet this isn’t a forlorn cold, but a bracing cold. Your words did a marvelous job of evoking that “other” cold. Well done!
