I have to try this, Gert! It looks like it is simple enough, but I doubt it! Later this evening, I'll give it a try and will let you know to check it out when you have some time. Take care. Love, Audrey

Enjoyed this one again for it reminded me of the Canadian Geese...Good educational information...I am glad that I stopped by this one this afternoon...We have not had snow here yet; well it did come a few flakes..Predications of snow, ice, or wintry mix for weekend...Sara

This is a new form to me, Gert, and I love the image of winter you have painted. I've been traveling and also sick, but am home now. Soup will shut down at 7 p.m. my time, so I want to be sure to tell you how much your friendship meant to me throughout 2010 and how I hope it continues through 2011. Love and blessings, Carolyn

I attempted one, Gert, not sure if I did it right, but it was amazing to write, I did the 12 line version~~

I just love this Tanka, and I like how you did it in three languages, I am not familiar with this form of poetry Kintaishi or Kanshi but I would like to give it a try for sure~~
