#TankaTuesday 1.3.23

Fresh like a diaper 

On a clean baby’s bottom.

This year will be my

Opportunity to scrub

Old dirt from my life’s corners.

    Yay! You made it! Happy New Year! This is a fabulous tanka to begin the year. Rachel, I contacted WP about Mr. Linky not showing up in the Reader. They will have to figure out why their HTML block doesn’t work when viewed through the reader. In the meantime, there isn’t anything we can do. I hope you will visit https://wordcraftpoetry.com/category/tanka-tuesday-poetry-challenges/ each Tuesday for the challenge and the link to Mr. Linky.

    I love the image of scrubbing old dirt from life’s corners. I’m trying to do just that. Well done!
