Free Poem Day by Ariestess

[ysabetwordsmith]

ariestess is hosting a free poem day today.  Leave prompts and get a tanka.  There are individual and collective perks for donations. 

Not sure what to prompt?  I recommend "The Five Hundred Essential Japanese Seasonal Words" which are used in both haiku and tanka.  Just pick one or more things you like from that list.  Frex, I asked for "cherry blossoms" (spring) which is my favorite; I've been writing these things long enough to know some of the terms off the top of my head.

I would really like to see folks support this project, because it's not only poetry but short-short poetry.  Those are easy things to overlook in the mainstream, and easy things to boost with crowdfunding.  Plus with a project producing tiny items like this, it's convenient for folks with a small budget; $2-5 is typical of what magazines pay for tanka or haiku (if they pay at all).
