Also...I recommended your work to a poet who posts his work online who is interested in tanka, as I think your tanka craft is stupendous...I hope you don't mind!
Jennifer - Wow, what a compliment, thanks! Sure, and best wishes to that poet on his tanka journey. In addition to the links at the left, here's another, the Tanka Society of America Facebook page: www.facebook.com/TankaSocietyOfAmerica
Our leaves have only started to fall here. Things are still rather green overall. I actually am looking forward to possible temps in the 30s here near the end of the week - hoping that some of the pollen will finally die down. Thanks for stopping by...
Also, I'm the blogger that Jennifer (Poet Laundry) is referring to. I'm looking forward to reading more of your tanka, here and in Atlas Poetica. Have a good day! :)
memories of spring.................

Spring leaves are a long way off. These small mercies - help us weather the winter.

Ha! Just perfect, again. Really you amaze me with your wordsmithing.

It will be some time before we see spring leaves again. I'll be wearing my Christmas earrings soon.
