Moon Tanka...

Don't forget to share your moon-themed tanka with Maragret Dornaus for her birthday bash giveaway. You have until July 20, and go into the draw to win a copy of Modern Japanese Tanka. Here's mine:



          Why did my DNA
          mutate...
          pacing this shoreline
          my answers come bathed
          in healing moonlight

  4. Thanks, Maggie!
    I orginally wrote this tanka for Pamela's "Moonbathing Contest" last year, but have made a slight change since then. Was very happy to share it for your birthday bash! Only a few days now... :)
