If you’d like to practice writing tanka poetry with us, join us for #TankaTuesday, a weekly challenge created to give poets practice on the forms we publish in the yearly anthology.

We will continue to publish information on how to create the different forms throughout the year. If you ever need help or don’t understand the forms, please email us at tankatuesdaypoetry@gmail.com. Robbie and I will be happy to answer your questions.

“Advice from a sunflower. Be bright, sunny, and positive. Know your roots. Spread seeds of happiness. Rise, shine, and hold your head up high. Keep on growing. Even on the darkest days, stand tall and find the sunlight.” –Unknown
