news
of a distant suicide?
one leaf
spirals downward
toward glittering frost

    Chilling. I feel that the last three lines would conjure the very same unfortunate image in the absence of the opening couplet

    Very strong tanka by Jenny.

    I'm reminded of this tanka I wrote:

    a small death
    the cracked shell
    of a snail
    now this delay
    at the train station

    I also believe there was a self-killing that day on the rail tracks.

    kind regards,

    If there are many games you want to try out but do not want to commit to purchasing them, rent them! Rental video games are available in local stores or through a mail-order service. You can list as many titles as you want that you are interested in and check out one or two at a time. Some rental services even have digital content you can download immediately.
