autumn of life—
the clock’s slow pendulum
marks time
not in minutes or hours
but in moments shared
On our forty-third anniversary this year, a long-time friend gifted us this wooden antique clock, knowing, perhaps, that at this age, what we cherish most is neither speed, nor ambition but time together.
The brass pendulum swings gently, measuring this new rhythm of our lives. On quiet afternoons, I listen to its calm ticking—unhurried, unlike the years behind us—the busyness of shared years: raising our son, moving cities, building careers, building our home. Yet now, the silences between the ticks seem just as full.
the clock strikes five
you awaken my dream
with masala chai…
these moments I gather
like shells on the beach
The October 2025 issue of cattails is online. Delighted to have a #monoku. #senryu and #haibun in the beautiful issue.
Grateful to Geethanjali Rajan – Haiku Editor, David Kelly – Senryu Editor, & Shobhana Kumar – Haibun Editor for the guidance and acceptance. Kudos to Sonam Chhoki, Editor-in- Chief and Mike Montreuil, Managing Editor.
Congratulations to all featured poets.
