I'Ll Write You When I Can Comments

'Says so much with so few words' Rachel Ann Butler

Great work Jim and clever too! Top marks! Karin Anderson

This is a very nicely written tanka, Jim, perfect in syllable count with some very sly lines as well. Most of us Americans tend to view a tanka as simply an extended haiku or senryu, which, needless to say, upsets our purist friends considerably! To their further consternation, a poet from the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina deveoped a new haiku/senryu format, the 2-3-2 poem, which is not easy to write, to say the least. Carl.

Clever lines. I like it.

i like couplets you can say so little in eloquence...expressing more of your passion in a simpliest form...10...: 0)
