somewhere there's music


she sits on the bench
bouncing up and down in time
watch his fingers fly

play it fast daddy
is the moon really that high?
another one please

I remember this girl
and I remember her dad
they love each other

Thanks Kathy.

I credit my dad for teaching me to love music, and jazz, in particular. He was a very accomplished pianist and I remember how sad I was the day Alzheimer's had finally robbed him of being able to play. That was when I wrote this haiku...

Janet, I just saw this on your FB page. Heartfelt Haiku when I first read it.

I'm so sorry for your loss and feel strange to have just now noticed.

Thanks Lars. The times they are a-changing, eh?
