Totally Absent in 2024: My Tanka Poems

No Jesus Tanka. No Tanka 'bout Town. I hit a wall and haven't written any good tanka in a while. It's been even longer for the town tanka. Two years! Even the Jesus Tanka I published at Five Fleas was written years prior.

I need to get out more. Touch grass. Touch concrete even. Take more photos. Hopefully, that will happen in the new year. Maybe we'll go see the fireworks on New Year's Eve if we are all feeling better. That will put me in the right mood.

As for the Jesus Tanka or Jesus poems in general? Aside from the "Palestinian Jesus" reference on Christmas, those might be dead for the near or even far future. I can't bear the thought of writing another "Donald Trump Jesus" poem in any kind of form.
