“My Little Bit of Heaven,” A #Tanka

Tanka tuesday

I’ve had some strange episodes with WordPress of late – disappearing draft posts and themes that have more glitches than a change in voltage in an electric circuit! Whatever ails this platform, I hope it corrects itself soon.

Finally, I’ve recreated my creative endeavor for my weekly poetry challenge. I’ve used delight for “play,” and belief for “guess.”

My winter’s delight –
short days and long stary nights,
abed with a book.
Bewitched by my belief in
a fiction lover’s heaven.

  9. Wonderful picture, make me want to curl up with a book.
    “A fiction lover’s heaven”… Nice 🙂
    I’ve had some WordPress annoyances lately too. When I log in from Google Chrome WordPress insists that I’m not a user. The WordPress people told me to use a different search engine. Which works, but … annoying 😦

    • Oh, geez! It is crazy. I switched from windows to Mac and my experience improved 99%. Now, if WP would get their platform fixed it would help. There are huge improvements coming so I hate to fuss after them. Losing draft posts really was frustrating. Oh well. What do you do? ❤️

Welcome to Word Craft ~ Prose & Poetry

“A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone’s knowledge of himself and the world around him.”

—Dylan Thomas
