    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

    I like both, but especially the second. It inspires me to get a bird feeder, as there is always a flock of them hanging around in the blackberry thicket in winter.

    Chapter 13

    Backwoods Boy commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Chapter 13

    An excellent story and emotional roller coaster. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Now, I'm gonna move on to the next part ...

    I guess that's a good news/bad news thing, but the good news seems to outweigh the bad. I hope you feel better soon.

    Totally overcast here, of course, what else. So I'll settle for your excellent poem instead.

    Well, wonder of wonders, I seem to have escaped the confines of the dreaded Moderation Queue. My Tanka poetry posting was immediately visible.

    I love them all, and the "me" part is the piece to this puzzle that I'm having the most trouble with too. The poem seems so nice, and then I have to inject a token "I" into it somewhere and spoil it.

    Since arriving on this site a few months ago, I've encountered lifestyles that are new to me and gender issues I don't understand. That doesn't make them any less meritorious or real. As others have said other ways, it's the individual that counts. Why be normal when you can be yourself? Thanks for your eloquence, and for being you. A song of my era by Joe South kept going through my mind as I read your blog: If I could be you, and you could be me for just one hour If we could find a way to get inside each other's mind, If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind, ... Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse, walk a mile in my shoes.

    This is an excellently-crafted story about homelessness and the silent compassionate heroes who do what they can to help. The author has a gift for character and setting detail that brings colorful life to the tale. The conversation and interactions produce a reality that connects the reader closely to each very-unique character. One exits the adventure with as much hope for the future as Ian and Kevin have found.

    Congratulations on your second story. You have a gift for detail that brings the characters and setting to life. Keep up the good work.

    Chapter 9

    Backwoods Boy commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Chapter 9

    Well, I don't have to wait until next Saturday morning, the advantage of coming late to the party. But I can't wait to find out what the witch-spelled-with-a-b is up to now. He repentance is ... well ... slightly unbelievable to my skeptical mind. Thanks for a great story.

    It sounds like a great method of identifying what you need to know, teaching it, and then reinforcing it. I'll be curious about your reaction to the methodology after you've completed the class. Your current 4.0 average tells why you spend all day on it - you want to do it right. The best of luck with the journey, and the results.

    If you modified that slightly, you could turn it into a Tanka 🤪
