stuck in a meeting
staring at my legal pad …
seeing her name
—————————
castle on a cliff
precariously ~
looking at, outside my world
my soul sees beyond
Yours surpass mine. Mine doesn’t make sense as it sounds as though I’m pinned to the desk by the calculator. Might be better written: monthly bills / pinned to the desk / by a calculator. Your second poem more like a tanka. Pat

patricia, i was inspired by your words
we are asked to reply as affected
in yours, i was reminded of a song
strangely, i know not the author nor the title, though we may cross paths, again
thanks, for your being you
just me
