How do I love thee my friends?

Love notes in the mail
How do I love thee my friends?
most sincerely so
enclosed sculpted valentine
and message sent 'round the world.




This love note is written in Tanka.
I learned about Tanka from my Synchronizing friend Ruthie
(a form of Japanese verse in five lines of 5, 7, 5, 7, 7 syllables
which is older than Haiku.
Much love to all this day and always.

  3. Oh, I did not know about Tanka! At first I thought it had something to do with Wakan Tanka, the Lakota (Sioux) Great Spirit!

  4. I too didn't know about Tanka. Learn something new every day on someone's blog. That is a beautiful heart. I'll have to go check out that link and see what I learn. Have a great weekend and Happy Valentine's Day.
