A sad lament for our state of affairs in the world today. I’m sending you huge hugs, Willow. ❤

Thank you Colleen this makes me feel so sad 💜💜

Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you sad. 😦 ❤
Sep 25, 2018 @ 20:28:13
Dear Colleen you did not make me sad, the state of the world made me sad 💜💜💜

Lovely…
Why did I think a tanka was 5, 7, 5, 7, 7 ?
Are there variations that are allowed? As you can see, I’ve no clue!
Sep 25, 2018 @ 17:42:48
You are correct that is a Tanka , on Colleen’s prompt you can use , Haiku, Tanka, Haibun, Cinquain ..I did a cinquain which has 2,4,6,8,2 sylables. I forgot to say it was a Cinquain..
Gosh I am not doing very well today to be honest I am so tired. 💜💜 Thank you again.💜

I saw hunger in Africa and Asia. Photo should make people understand. Real war is forgotten. The war to feed a hungry world. Powerful and worthwhile words shared my friend.
