A great little write - enjoyed and like your short prosaic pieces, I am haunted by them - Just Bein' Stella

Thank you
I try to follow the Tanka form exactly (5/7/5/7/7), despite the movement among English-writing poets to loosen the line count to be more accommodating to the language. I happen to think (and I think I have enough of them to prove) that the language can be put into the Tanka form without damage, provided one is careful with the syllables. But thank you for the comment---coming from you, that is a very fine compliment.
