Well, somehow I missed this, a tanka published in Eucalypt, one of the finest tanka journals out there. Eucalypt is published in Australia, the home of a great number of brilliant tanka poets. It’s always a great feeling having a poem published in this journal.
My thanks to Julie Thorndike, the editor.
Eucalypt, Spring issue 2018:
how it begins
this love of beauty . . .
a little girl touches
each coloured heart
on grandma’s quilt

Congratulations on your poem being published. Your tanka is lovely and I can picture my granddaughters touching each heart.

I wish I had grandkids! But we do learn early, don’t we, to appreciate beauty and skill. 🙂

Yes, we do! I marvel every day how much the youngest (18 months) learns in a day.
