Black Cat
Cat sleeps everywhere. Hair in the laundry basket in drawer, on pillow. Laundry in open washer. Cat sneaks in. Soap suds splatter. (This is another Tanka -- a japanese form of poetry in the pattern of 5-7-5-7-7.) Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog
There were several years in my life (when I had two or more children in diapers) that I only wrote Japanese forms. Why? Mostly because I could carry a poem around in my head and revise and rewrite it while whirling through very full days. Once I had time to actually sit down and write again, I realized that writing haiku, senyru and tanka had transformed all of my writing in whatever form I chose to write: Everything I wrote was more crystalized and clear and powerful.
