Tanka challenge 4/2/13

How fine it would be
To sit awhile longer and
Talk the night away.
Duty demands that we part:
Tomorrow is a work day.

Tanka challenge 4/3/13

He questioned my choice
Of brushes and ink stick meant
For a child to use.
Yet one must begin somewhere
When one is learning to write.

(I did, however, promise the man behind the counter that I would keep him in mind when I was ready to graduate to better brushes.)
