Author's Notes:   This is a "Tanka" or a Japanese verse form write on the subject of "Enchantment."  For this write, I looked at the word "Enchantment" from the perspective of what this "word" or "term" actually means to me in an interpretative sense both as a writer and poet.  In that sense, I believe what I've written does succinctly portray the essence enchantment as it applies to what we poets actually do (or attempt to do).  The syllable count for this Tanka is:  5-7-5-7-7, for a total of 31 syllables, and the total number of words is 20 for this write.  (Gary Bateman - January 3, 2015) (Tanka)
