waning moon
hangs low in the night sky-
I look on,
heavy-hearted, knowing
that soon he will be gone...

About Me
- Kristin Riggs
- I have had a passion for the written word, especially poetry, from an early age. I am first and foremost a child of God-a thankful recipient of His grace. I am also a mother, a teacher, a singer,and an overall music lover. I call the beautiful southern United States home, and growing up and raising my family here has shaped who I am in many ways. I believe that life- with its various emotions, experiences, trials, and joys-is a gift from my Heavenly Father. As a poet, I hope that my work expresses this. "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him." -Psalm 62:1 Some of my poetry has been published in the online journals Simply Haiku and Notes from the Gean.
Beautiful tanka, Kristin :)

I wrote this tanka as I was walking the other night...there was something sad about the moon that evening. I had also been thinking a lot that day about the upcoming seperation my husband and I are going to have to endure while he is away at the police academy. :( He will be going this fall. That was a somber night to say the least.
