I don't mind
going to movies alone
back at home
I explain the plot
to my cat
more grows in a crooked row, 2016

Bio Sketch
Joanne Morcom is a poet and social worker living in Calgary, Alberta. She recently published her third poetry collection, Last Year's Leaves. She's also a contributor to various haiku and tanka journals and anthologies.
A sense of loneliness is effectively conveyed through the understated tone of the tanka, and what's left unsaid is at least as potent as what's said.
