It’s Tuesday, and that means Colleen’s Tanka Challenge! Of course, just providing a couple of words would be far too simple, so we have two words, yes, but we can’t use them! Only synonyms allowed!

Origin & Write

 Looking at the past
 Recording every moment
 Of my ancestry
  
 Scribing names of
 Ancestors who shaped my life 
 Made me who I am

 Forging connections
 On paper, by pen, today
 Lasting forever

    I’ve grabbed this senryu sequence for the book also, Sis. I’ve cited you in the Bibliography. ❤
