First Tanka

Ancients tell stories

of walkabout wilderness

 

Spirits come to him

who steps into the dream time

and boy transitions to man

        You have already proven yourself over and over on Twitter. You must believe in your poetry. Feel strongly about it. You’re excellent at what you do. Your style speaks of who you are. Have no fear. Write! What I suggest is simple. Keep doing what you’re doing. Go to Prose. Write there. People will embrace your work. I am a fan, for sure! I believe in you. Now you need to believe in you. The magic is there … let it shine!
