Thank you, Liz, for introducing me to Colleen. You were the one who started me on this poetic journey. I will always remember the first time I read Wilderness Tanka. I still have goosebumps when I recite it.
Wilderness Tanka
snowy wilderness
cold winter sun, soaring trees
a small lone figure
for a time she stood fearless
my protector, my mother
