How can you befriend solitude and learn to self-soothe through moments of loneliness?”
Of Loneliness
Dodoitsu and American cinquain prompt responses
I have accepted Diana C.’s suggestion to challenge myself with 50 answers in 50 days to her 50 questions for self-reflection.
I love writing tanka.
I write tanka because the art form challenges me to think deeply and fit so much into few words and not waste space with various forms of connective words that do not actually add meaning to the piece.
Tanka challenges
Fits my personality
Deeply broad thinker
Spiritual and few words
Make every fucking word count
and thus answered Diana’s 30-day poetry challenge with nothing but tanka, yet have embarked on a journey to respond to her new challenge by taking on the additional self-challenge of expanding my syllabic formatted poetry to include dodoitsu and American cinquain as recently prompted by MDSHall.
