So That I Might Flow Again (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



So That I Might Flow Again   (Bussokusekika)

Once upon a time
I was a mighty river
After years of drought
I am merely a trickle
Will the rains ever return
So that I Might flow again

About this poem

There was a time when I was obsessed with poetry…I seem to have lost interest and my poetry is subpar in my mind…I’ve other interests that occupy my time and I’ve placed some of my old hobbies on the back burner…Maybe one day I may return to poetry…And for the record…I do not have writer’s cramp nor writer’s block…Only time will tell…
