Clean Slate

Just beautiful ;-)

Well done.

Thank you Nathan! I know it's short but I like the challenge that a Tanka presents - having to cram so much into five lines ;)

you did get a lot into this little tanka, but it is far from crammed, more perfectly formed,

Thank you, Shirley! Glad you liked this one ;)

In these few cleverly constructed lines, Magic, you have managed to capture the essence of a new year and all the sentiments we feel. Very well done;-)

Thank you, Tina! I just hope I do some good things with this clean slate of mine ;)

I agree with Nathan. This is beautiful. I really enjoy your shorter poems because you express so much in them! I'm sure the year ahead will be great for you :-)

Cheers Beeme! I hope it will be great for you too ;)

Thankyou! :-)

The challenge with this form is to give the reader as much as you can with as little as possible, something you have more than capably achieved.

Thank you Dynamaso ;) Glad you think so!

Perfect, both for the reader and (I suspect) yourself. I sense a calm determination in this wonderful little piece. Well done.

'Calm determination' - couldn't have put it better myself, Chris ;) Thank you!
