#Weekly Tanka Prompt #Poetry Challenge – Week 100 – Celebrations & Century

Thanks, Elsie for your wonderful challenges which gave me something to think and made me try other types of poetry. I will miss these challenges.

Mother’s century

Though we could not celebrate

As she passed away

Three years before completing

Seeing her pain and discomfort

I prayed for her departure

Whom we love can’t see in pain

( This is not a Tanka but had to add the last line)
