I just started writing again after a near fifty year lapse. I'm trying to improve my skills by learning structured forms, rhyme and meter. I'm also interested in some of the ancient Japanese structures such as the Tanka, Haiku and Senryu. Really I'm just the new kid on the block trying to learn all I can about my craft. All reviews will be appreciated and honored. Thanks much for your interest. oldhat
