Is there a Tanka Syllable Counter out there somewhere? No promises but I may try my hand at it. Do it. WolfM gave me this link, but also the warning that it is inaccurate. It seemed to think that "tracked" was two syllables, which is not so. I suggest counting yourself, per MacGreg's provided count. https://syllablecounter.net/count Edited January 22, 2019 by Backwoods Boy Added a link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have written down the syllable count, but forgot to like a dumbass. Thanks, Bro. That helped. Okay... here's my lame-ass attempt at one. No snow on the ground, winter is never that cold. The sand I walk on warmed by the sun, shifts away dreams of winter wonderlands. I think it is excellent. I particularly like how the "sand shifts away dreams...", an excellent metaphor.

Brayon Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'll try again to post in Live Poets. When I went earlier it didn't even give me the option to. It might be because I'm not a member of the club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backwoods Boy Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 The weather here way out west, on the other hand, is unusually balmy. With the current temperature (mid-day) at 56 F, and similar temps in the forecast through the weekend, it's more like March than January. I'm going to take advantage of it this weekend and do some fence repairs. The several days of wind last week were not kind to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayon Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 We're 79 F today. Tomorrow we'll be lucky to reach 59 F, as another cold front moves through. It's supposed to dump a crapload of water on us tonight too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorn Wilde Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hey, everybody. Wow, haven't been by GA at all today... Gamed a bit this morning, went out for a coffee with my ex that turned into a drink, and now we've eaten dinner. Since we're sharing weather: It's hovering around 0C at the moment, but it's really humid so the air hurts your face anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
