OK, INclan, you've got me counting, and if I understand Tanka right, this piece is off a little, correct? Is this a test for me? I count 5-8-6-7-7. If I understand the rules, it is 5-7-5-7-7. No red pen here, but if I am to enter into Tanka, then my mentor must speak! BTW, like the picture it presents... |

Thank you all for your kind respoonses. Dark Angel, I am glad you liked it. Ruth, I guess I am just a passionate fellow.  Thanx, Pepper. Marge, I value your opinion more than you know. Joanna, we seem to be inspiring each other lately. I hope someday to write Haiku like you do.  Sunshine, you are quite right. Now that I count, the syllables don't fit to 5-7-5-7-7, but it was the only way to make the poem fit together. Please keep in mind, I had just woke up....give me a break (LOL). Romantic Heart, a lot can be said in a kiss. Don't you think? Thank you all again! INclan |
