I discovered the Japanese poetry form of tanka several years ago and it quickly became one of my favorite styles of poem to write. It took much longer to realize that I was not writing it correctly; I still foul it up frequently to honest! Anyway, this week I stumbled across a new tanka challenge and wanted to participate so over the last few days I have worked this one out.
Moonlit skies above
Sprinkled with starry glitter
Hope springs fresh and new
Hours away from dawning anew
Tomorrow holds a fresh start
Written for Silver’s Tanka Challenge.
Greg, I am so happy to see you found your way to my Tanka challenge. I loved your poem and I have a great visual of your words in my mind. Tomorrow does hold a fresh start! Well done my friend. ❤

Thank you, Colleen! I’m glad to have found it, too. It feels good to get back to writing and reading some again – shame I had to hut myself to do it LOL
