[stylist] An example of a tankabun with a very short prose section

[KajunCutie926 at aol.com]

Thank you Andi and such is the joy of writing.   To be able to touch 
someone without ever guessing you will in such a personal  way? It doesn't get in 
better than that for me.  My grandmother would hide  coins for us to find.  
Each had a significance which we were told after we  found each one.  Again 
thank you so much for sharing with us and especially  me what this poem 
meant to you.

I like  this poem.  It is so true, and I like the analogies.  For  me
personally the coin memories have an extra reason why it is a good  
parallel.
One because coins are either stored in banks or wallets like  memories.
Sometimes they are kept close, and other times left on a shelf  but always
kept.  Also coins can get lost when they are dropped from a  pocket or
something, like memories when we just can't quite remember.   I do that 
whole
lifting couch cushions and rummaging through piles of stuff  to find that
coin or in my head memory but sometimes it is just lost.   Then other times
you find it unaccspectadly when you weren't even looking  for it.  Like at
midnight when the allusive thought comes back to  you.  The other reason I
like the coin analogy is because of my five  year old niece.  She has this
obsession with anything little enough to  fit in her hands in numbers.  
Coins
are one of these things and she  carries them everywhere.  I tried to get 
her
to keep them in a piggy  bank but that pig is always loosing its coins.  The
poem made me think  of her and her coins, which intern put other memories in
my head about my  niece.

Keepers

Piggy bank moments,
Life's golden  coins,  its keepers
Scattered memories
Tossed across time and  falling
Into  thoughts of other days

And we remember when,  where, and why. We  touch, capture scents, hear 
music,
and know the  joy found simply in the keeping.
