Secrets of the heart

10/23/2020

Each week author Suzanne Burke provides a writing prompt. This is her 22nd week for a Fiction In A Flash Challenge and the image is an old diary.

I've decided to respond via a Tanka poem, which has 5-7-5-7-7 syllables. Perhaps you have a story you'd like to share or a poem or a thought. If so, please click on Suzanne's name and you'll travel to her website where she will welcome you and offer advice if needed.
