The Lothlorien Poetry Journal edited by Strider Marcus Jones just published ten of my tanka poems. The link is https://lothlorienpoetryjournal.blogspot.com/2024/11/ten-tanka-poems-by-janet-ruth-heller.html
Tanka resemble haiku, but tanka are five lines long, so there is more room to develop ideas. I have been writing tanka for about five years now.
