Pondering perils of writing poems in rhyme, it plunders my mind. A poet's plaguing problem so I propose to pen prose.

Hi Lin, i am beginning to get more appreciation for the shorter forms and i have a special place for the Tanka. They are in with the Haiku, question Ku and senryu. I like the fun in this one, most cleverly written piece. Well, as i see congratulations it must have been on a competition winning list so i add my belated congratulations to you. This has to be a seven Lin. Hugs....Mike. XX

Thanks for the chuckle. Your proposal to pen prose on purpose perpetuates the problem of pondering the perils of poetic rhyme

I love free verse, but that would require another alliterative tanka. ;) Thanks, Paul.
