A lovely Tanka for the contest, Mala. I enjoyed it; I think it will do well. Good luck, my friend. I want to congratulate you on having three of your poems published in the latest edition of Poetry Soup's Anthologies! YEAH !!! I also want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate it? If not, have a wonderful Thursday! Hugs, Bill

Thank you, Bill. Yes, I am really excited to have three poems included in the anthology. I haven’t got the book yet, my daughter will get for me. You have three included, right? I will read soon. We celebrate Thanksgiving, but in Canada Thanksgiving is celebrated in November. Best wishes to you, Bill - you and Sara are such great friends! Fortunate to know you. Hugs ~ Mala

Dear Malabika, your thoughts whisper the welcome of winter, as fall fades. As "bare branches pray," is very spiritual, indeed. Many wonderful blessings to you, my dear friend. :) Hugs, Brandy

Thank you, Sara! Didn’t write many Tanka before, trying to learn this form - not easy to express your feelings in so few words! Really appreciate your visit, Sara.
