my pen utter words my heart hankers to say, clinched thoughts inflict anguish unless I whisper them through my pen, then I smile again…

Great idea that you have penned and the presentation is excellent ...I am glad that I chose this one to read this A.M...I was delighted that you found something of value in reading of my poem "Iridescent Raindrops"...Sara

When thoughts are troubling us, it really does help to ease the "anguish" if you write about them. Very insightful and creative tanka, Wilma. Love, Carolyn
