“Friday’s Tanka here!
I’d just like to say something,
if that is okay?
I am so pleased to announce
that my existence is true.”

A ‘Murder’ Drabble or a 99-Worder?
I wrote a Drabble,
then I removed a word;
and found that I had a ninety-nine worder.
The difference between the one
and the other
was ‘……’ –
for that was the word that I chose
to remove.
What does that prove?
And what can you do when you’re
trying
to be precise?
Spell-check once…
then spell-check twice.
Everything should then be
nice
(you may be able to fine a better
descriptive word
than that.
‘Nice’ is okay;
but, if you take my advice,
use it
and you may end up
where I am today!)
In Cornwall!
Yay!
A Poetry Drabble
Can a drabble
be written in poetic form?
I hear it’s wrong,
not the norm
to do such a thing with a drabble.
But, in the parable by Zak
there is always a lack
of detail upon the subject.
I object when I am told
“Behold! These are the rules!
To vary is only done by the biggest of fools!”
And, as you know,
I am one, so.
A hundred words here are written.
If you are not happy by that…
“Bite me!” I shall be bitten
if by my words
and how they are put
you are not smitten.
Train Poetry
Have you ever tried
writing poetry on a train
you’ll write it time table and again
and the rhythm’s always the same
when you’re travelling on the train;
because, although life’s a pain,
a train will take away the strain
and leave you less insane
than you were inside your brain.
So,
Wherever you go
whatever you do
there’s always a train
travelling through
you get on the train
and look at the view
that’s passing you by
as you’re going to Looe.
A Day Trip to Liskeard (by car), Looe (by train), and Polperro (by glass-bottom boat).
Possibly on this boat…
It’s Thursday morning,
we are going on a boat,
and also a train,
to Liskeard Looe, Polperro –
it’s going to be so cool.
I’l take some pictures
of the journey to show you –
and it will not rain;
because we have ordered Sun
and it’s arriving at Noon.
Two Tankas are sometimes better than one – sometimes. (Tankas for #LPG #LiskeardPoetryGroup).
Two Tankas for the Price of One!
Tanka very much,
I appreciate your help
in all that I do.
Which sentiment is sincere
if not a little solemn.
—//—
Well, that was no fun!
I usually say less
and make it jokey.
But, Wednesday can be dull
if it rains and I get wet.

A Tiny Vignette
Do You Read These If They Don’t Have A Picture?
‘Plinketty-Plonketty’ Peter Penquite (the second ‘e’ of which is pronounced thus giving it the full three-syllables of silliness – ‘Pen-Kwit-e’) was, shall we say – yes, let’s – quite pernickety.
Why?
Well, that’s a story for a post far longer than this one.
