Tanka's structure and pentameter makes it not so easy or simple to ignite poetic fires, which to me is imagery and emotions - in the words - as honest and as true as you make it... simple and lovely a family portrait you shared with us here, kudos.

Thank you so much and for allowing my self-promotion on you post. I greatly appreciate your taking the time to read my words. Tanka is still a work in progress. I am just starting to play with it. I am a big fan of short verse.

I liked the image of a bird migration. I didn't know this year was the red fire monkey! :-) Hope your family gathering was fun.

Thank you for your kind words and I just returned from Lunar New Years Eve dinner. And we do it all over again tomorrow.

That sounds lovely.
