As the dam breaks wide
I’m caught up in the deluge
Left gasping for air
Sights and sounds swallow me whole
The joys of life and learning

You’re such a great writer. I envy your skill.
Thank you so much. I hope that you know how much I appreciate that, it keeps me encouraged. :)
I’m curious what the form of a tanka is. I’ve never heard of it before.
I hadn’t heard about it before until another blogger that I follow began doing them and after looking up the form which is 5-7-5-7-7 I gave them a try and fell in love with them.
Interesting. Like haiku’s bigger cousin. :)
Exactly! That’s what I thought when I first tried them.
how bright and full of hope! I like!
Thank you so much. :)
This is a very beautiful Tanka!
Thank you very much.
This is exactly like real life. Good job getting it into a tanka.
Thank you so much for the nice compliment. I’m glad that you enjoyed it.
