Thanks so much for stopping and letting me know too!!<BR/><BR/>Rakesh, certainly the Tanka are as romantic as they get, that particular type of lyric poetry. I do believe there used to be competitions for writing Tanka, in those days too! Thanks for the kind words too!<BR/><BR/>Shal.. I so love the way you describe them!

I am sure I will have him/her stumped with my knowledge of poetry!<BR/><BR/>I would have tried some tanka (ha, how ambitious!) if only I had somebody to send it to :-)<BR/><BR/>Untill then, keep them coming.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,Salilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102199027422759066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648921142184155388.post-75398715017287277222008-10-29T16:16:00.000+05:302008-10-29T16:16:00.000+05:30Tara, thank you :)Ever so much!!Sandeep, Lol!!

Indeed it seems that way does it not :) Well I discovered these only about a year ago, and these are just amateur efforts when I indulged in a bit of that genre :) Glad you like it! <BR/><BR/>And yes, do write about the authentic Haiku and Tanka writer, lol!! That would make for real interesting reading... hehehe! Thanks Sandeep!
