Dear Brian - Congratulations on your featured write this week! Peace always and may you and your loved ones have a Happy & Healthy Holiday season. John BTW - can a Tanka be written in a 5-5-5-5-5 meter? You're the expert on all forms of poetry...I'm so used to the 5-7-5-7-7...variations on this style are acceptable? Let me know. Peace always, J.
