  1. Thanks for that enlightenment. It's so often painted as perfection to us down below here.

    Tanka

    Very nicely done. I would say you have Tanka well under control.
  3. What Kitt said. Do tell your doctor anything even remotely pertinent. I had a brother-in-law who deliberately kept things from his doctor that he thought would be embarrassing. As he got older, my sister would accompany him to make sure that the doctor didn't get BS and she wouldn't get similar BS when he returned home. Maybe that's why I'm still around and he isn't.

  5. Sorry for the HaHa, but it made LOL - mostly because I relate so well. It is quite perfect. ❤️
  6. That's one I needed this morning. Thanks.
  7. look closely
  8. Haven't tossed any yet, but number two and three are slow in coming. It's an odd rhythm to be sure - I would hate to put any of it to music - but I'm finding it interesting.
  9. Nice. Love song, indeed. The last three lines make me think good old "Sol" was struggling a bit in the relationship.
  10. The HaHa is in response to the contradictory nature of the Song of Solomon in general. To be a little bit cynical, certain parts would have been borderline porn not too many years ago, and that's without falling back on my favorite Tom Lehrer quote. Perhaps that explains why that part of the Bible wasn't emphasized too strongly in Sunday School. Maybe singing it in Latin tips the scales to the religious side. I hope you'll report back how the adjudicators see it.
  11. Thanks for the comment, and the feedback that I'm on the right track. I have a couple more going, and I'll publish them as a group when I'm satisfied with five or so.
  12. I might manage one Tanka a day. I hate winter too. Here's yesterday's impression: Cold wind shakes the house As I seek warmth in my bed, But I search in vain For the fire no longer burns That once warmed me from within.
  13. I've got one set counted. Is there an expectation on the five? I might manage one a day. And my hatred of winter is showing up in the results.
  14. stop sign
  15. PLANS Perhaps Larry and Nate should MARRY
