(big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this deeply touched my heart as so many of your words do! Unfortunately it seems we may have to use our words as weapons in order to spark attention in creating love and peace so we must rise to the moment as the First Amendment is ours and we must rebel with poetry! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, here's hoping those pushing for war will lose and the peacemakers will triumph, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It seems, that for as long as I can remember I have lived in an era where nuclear power was... not the norm, but all
too common threat....and it's getting closer?

It's a fright for peace.

Hugs for you Chris~

Chris, this is so true. I wish so much that we could have peace in all nations.

Is the "tanka" 5-7-5-7-7 syllables? Are there any other rules for it, like the others? I don;t think I've tried one of these yet. I love doing these little verses, don't you?

Hugs,
Ethel
