The Grandfather Poems use tanka verse to explore the meaning of being a grandfather: my grandson asleep/in the baby carrier/the weight/of wanting to live longer/heavy on my shoulders. This tanka verse also follows the passage of time: in the album/a faded photograph/when we were young/we thought we'd visit/that island more often.
