"Hallmark" are those nasty people that play with the tiny verses..
You have to watch out for them they are found under the keys of your computer, taunting you to rhyme, so they can steal your words,
Sending them out in bland cards to make money on the Pagan seasons they so love, as the Christians have made them Holy.
So take care have a great day, Yours Ian.T

thanks lonnie

everyone is welcome to critique workshop poems, that's why they appear on the stream, and in this case I merely bask in the praise.

The only time it can be a slight problem is when people critique not knowing the workshop context it is written in. For example I have several times instructed participants to ignore other poetic values while just getting say their meter or rhyme correct.

Synchronicity my lad Jess, happens to me all the time.

I really enjoyed this. It describes "a causal link between acausal events" or coincidence, whichever you choose. Good Tanka.

Hi Jess

And here I thought rhyme was forbidden in Japanese forms. Just shows what I know lol. And yes it seems at time that life imitates art just as art imitates life (if one considers TV art lol) Thanks for posting.........stan
