For the Love of Words

For the love of words


Deep in love with words,
I keep digging through the day,
Although words fail me,
Still can't help reverberate,
I am a structured poem !

Love this tanka! My favorite lines the first one and the third one Dr.Upma. I can relate so much to it. I am in love with words and my dictionaries and then books I can never get enough of them. Always digging for new ones and all the millions to know. Lol...I wish you good luck in this contest! Great tanka in all forms! I give you a 7! Cheers! Have a lovely weekend! Love and light! xxxx D.
