More about tanka?
See the links I published below – each takes you to a different article.
After I wrote Part 1, I joined the Tanka Society of America.
Here I learned far more about tanka – and it is enlightening!

Robbie Cheadle’s Review of Lynda’s new book – Star Signs: New & Selected Poems
Star Signs: New and Selected Poems, is about a wide variety of different topics that are grouped together under the following four sections which indicate their overarching theme: Lights Across the Sky, Distant Legends & Metaphors, Transmutation of Earthy Elements and Seasons, Days and Years.
The poet’s use of language is rich and theatrical as is illustrated by the following short extracts:
“Accomplishments seem possible
before dawn
concentric choices are unlimited”
“The lively sonata of midday skies
responds to the muted notes of night skies.
Time is temporal. Immeasurable.”
Lynda’s Note:
Today is DAY #8 of National Poetry Month.
Thank you for your interest and enjoyment of my daily poem and photographs.
It is my pleasure to share a little piece of my world –
The Village of Wurttemburg, in western Pennsylvania.
