WELCOME TO #TANKATUESDAY 短歌 火曜日

Welcome to a new year of writing syllabic poetry. Please read the rules, updated for the new year, 2023 HERE.

Back by popular demand, our first poetry challenge of 2023 is to write your poem by selecting synonyms for the two words below. Do not use the two words—synonyms only.

        1. Good. It’s only if you read the post in the WP Reader. The link isn’t there. WP said it’s because it’s an inline HTML link. ??? They turned it over to their “engineers” to figure out why it doesn’t work. 🤦🏼‍♀️

    1. I think WP is screwed up again. I had to go to the post to see the comments as I don’t receive half of them. It’s crazy. But, I’m glad you saw my post. Do you have to subscribe to wordcraftpoetry.com again? I noticed a lot of people were doing that.

  23. One of my goals this year is to write more poetry. I have learned so much from you over the years and still use the cheat sheet regularly for trying new things or poetry forms that I haven’t written for a while. My post will go live tomorrow morning as part of Natalie’s Coffee Share and KL’s Write Photo. Hope to see much more of you this year, my friend. )
