A pleasure Mary :-) Tanka is a really rewarding journey I have found, and lots of places to begin. My advice - start writing. The rest is gravy.

I am fascinated with the Haiku form after reading your recent newsletters, Dick. This is packed with information. You do a great job. I need to study and practice.

Aw yay! Always love to hear of a new convert haha. :-) It's a lifelong practice, and is very rewarding over time imo. Hit me up if you ever have any questions. Always keen to chat haikai.
