This one is for you Teri.
Thanks for all the beautiful daisies that you share.
I’m still working on and reading about Tanka poetry. It can be deceptively simple.
Unlike a haiku, tanka poems should actually be one continuous thought, written in 5 lines. Syllables of: 5, 7,5,7,7.
If you’ve never tried writing a tanka poem, you might enjoy it. It’s can be challenging.
And a lot of fun too, with the right subject to start with! 😉

Hi Teri, You are so welcome my friend. When I saw these lovely yellow daisies in a planter on Monday, you were the first person who came to mind. The tanka followed!!! I know you love tanka poems too.
Hi Joe, It was kind of dark sky on Monday wasn’t it? These stood out, with their brilliant yellow.
Hi Suki, I love your name! Thank you for stopping by and your kind words.
Hi Marianne, She certainly does! I love your black kitty on your blog btw, so sweet.
Happy Wednesday, G 🙂
