Author Suzanne Burke offers another great prompt, this one of an airplane. My response is a Tanka poem, syllables of 5-7-5-7-7. Perhaps you'd like to join in this exercise. It's great fun and you'll meet a number of writers. Just click on Suzanne's name and you'll travel to her website. My poem is below. I've entitled it Forsaken.

Thanks, Craig. Somehow, I suspect yesterday's sadness got incorporated into my Tanka. 1/7/2021 06:41:50
This one had a deep sadness about it that makes it haunting. I can feel your disappointment in all that is happening right now. Better tomorrows are coming. 🤗

Yearning for a past that will never be repeated, a woman grieves over what she's loss as she moves toward tomorrow.
