Hi! Welcome back to #TankaTuesday. Let’s write syllabic poetry together! Just a quick update: I’m going to stop the additional 72 micro seasons challenge. It’s too much for many (including myself). The links are at the top of the menu for the 72 micro seasons. Feel free to write poetry on your blog using those […]
