This week for Colleen Chesebro Tanka Tuesday Poetry No 163 – Poet’s Choice we can decide our own format and theme. I have written a Butterfly Cinquain…
Look deep
and intently
into a baby’s eyes
as they open to view the world
we share.
You might catch a privileged glimpse
of an old soul reborn
gifting the child
wisdom.

I have seen this many times, Sally. Not all the time, by sometimes one will reduce me to tears just looking into their eyes…
