Beautiful, Jo! Yes, strong emotion packed into such a tiny package (the locket and the poem). Each word here works so hard. Reunion – forgotten – locket. Oh my!
Fine verse, Jo_!
__Long ago I found a photo (taken in 1943 or 1944) in one of my Mom's old books, it prompted this senryu, and me… to turn more pages. _m

Wonderfully economical. Who, or what lies forgotten in the locket that the family reunion reignites memories of?
