This week, for #TankaTuesday, I asked everyone to write senryu. This is a fun form to create. Humor and irony both make senryu special. Irony is when the outcome (or meaning) is the opposite of what you expect. Humor is another literary device that helps you get your point across.

Hi! Welcome back to #TankaTuesday. Let's write syllabic poetry together! I'm busy with Sunflower Tanka. The formatting is moving forward.

Follow him on Substack to read his fascinating analysis of these micropoetry forms. (My goal is to share our Tanka Tuesday Challenge posts on Substack to direct them to this site.

Time got away from me this week. We're still putting things away, fixing a few things, and painting. Oh joy! I've also been working on Sunflower Tanka. Formatting for publication is coming along. This week, on #TankaTuesday, Yvette asked us to write a poem about what's behind the mask. What an excellent theme. I'm not good at hiding behind a mask.
