Quiet journey’s end / a month long task complete / with satisfaction. / Habit formed through practiced / repetition carries on.
Today is officially the end of the #TankaChallenge. I wrote 37 poems in 30 days. And I have no intention of stopping.
I like the stretch of my writing skills that I’ve had this past month. I wrote something out for a friend today, and it was made more than it would have been because I used poetic language and lovely allusions. It made me happy. More importantly it made him happy. Writing tanka has made me happier. A few of my poems have spoken to some of my friends and increased their happiness. I’ll take every little bit of that I can get. So I will continue to write at least one tanka every day. My persona should be able to reel off a poem upon request. With enough practice, that is completely doable.
