The link is https://lothlorienpoetryjournal.blogspot.com/2024/11/ten-tanka-poems-by-janet-ruth-heller.html Tanka resemble haiku, but tanka are five lines long, so there is more room to develop ideas. I have been writing tanka for about five years now. #tanka #naturepoetry #poetry #lyricpoetry Janet Ruth Heller reading her poems at the Kalamazoo Public Library; photo by Hedy Habra
