Recently, my friend and fellow poet
Margaret Dornaus and I decided to write a series of tanka based on
travel pictures we'd taken over the years. The result, our tanka
sequence "Forever Home," was published in the October issue
of LYNX, where you can find our alternating verses in their entirety.
We thought it might be fun, however, to share the verses and the
accompanying pictures that inspired them on our blogs simultaneously,
which we'll be doing, one by one, over the course of the next several
days. Here is my first tanka that started it all. To see Margaret's tanka and pictures for "Forever Home", visit Haiku-doodle.
