A brilliant "Sentanka", Dr. Ram! I name it "Sentanka" as it is half Tanka and half Senryu. Enjoyed the read!....All the best, Gert

Thank you Dr. This is a good way to attack the idea of sanctuary. Safety versus isolation. Solitude versus contact. One mans' sanctum is another mans' banishment. Regards, Gerard

You have weaved the most beautiful gift of God, which we know as ‘Solitude’ in these excellent words. We definitely make our own Prison, hell or heaven. Matchless Tanka. Great write with great depths. And many thank for your precious and lovely comments on 'The clanking chain of wild geese'. Love and best wishes always...Ravindra...Dr. Ram Mehta.

Oh, I forgot to thank you for your welcomed comments, you are very kind.

perhaps the frontal lobe of my brain does overtime in causing so much conflict in my life. :) I like this verse alot, very practical. Take good care, Cindy

interesting poem this Dr. last line is brilliant. Harry

A sanctuary truly is a place where your own heart leads you. We would all do well to follow that lead instead of those who would have you follow other dictums. Wayne
