as the years pass
the more I find myself
content to enjoy
the pleasure of my own
flawed company

Words of wisdom. I prefer tanka for its flexibility in acceptable subject matter. The condensation of emotion or humor or revelation is the delightful challenge of these brief forms.

I like this - the form and the content. I'm reading "What Remains" by Margaret Chula who writes in these forms.

I love this. It takes us a while, sometimes, to see, accept, and love our own selves.

Yes! Haiku and tanka are wonderful but don't be fooled by brevity and what seems simplicity. It takes skill to write and gives pleasure to read these forms.
