A ‘Magnetic Poem’ tanka
tiny happy girl
you innocent joyful child
your father loves you
your faith fascinates me so
little blooming soul believes
Notes
- For this poem, I decided to make use of the ‘Love Set’ on the Magnetic Poetry website;
- This is only the 2nd time that I’ve used this set;
- I think this is a brand new set of virtual magnets;
- I once again opted for a tanka, rather than a haiku;
- The extra two lines (14 syllables) provide a greater challenge, as well as a larger canvas;
- This particular poem is a reflection of my love for my six-year-old daughter (obviously, right?);
- I searched for and found the featured image only after I had written the entire tanka;
- This is a free stock photo – it is not a photo of my daughter;
- Back when she was born, we decided to keep photos of her offline.

So sweet 😊 and I respect your decision not to share images of her as she is too young to make an informed decision regarding this.

What a delightful poem David! I’m sure your own daughter is even cuter ☺️🥰

You are smart not to share images of your daughter online. The poem was very sweet.

Very sweet. I love hearing the way little kids think; they really are fascinating.
Me too, EIP ❤
Thank you.

She’s beautiful ♥️❣️💕
That’s not her – it’s a free stock photo 😉
Okay
Delightful.

David,
This tanka is Adorable. ❤️ Have you and your daughter read A.A. Milne’s “Now We Are Six”? Bet you both will love it.

Dora,
We haven’t read that one, but we do have this one –
(although we haven’t read it yet)

A delightful Tanka! I don’t use my sons’ names on line and only their photos now that they’re adult with permission… A wise move on the part of your wife and yourself…
My daughter’s name is on my father’s Wikipedia page, but I’m not the one who put it there (although I haven’t taken it off either)… but we’re sticking to no-online-photos.
❤

🙂 Thanks so much, Goyal 🙂
A child sees the world so clearly.
I applaud your decision to keep her photos offline. (K)
Yeah, it intuitively felt (still feels) like the right thing to do… it’s a scary age we live in.
It is indeed.
So cute child 🌷👌♥️😊
❤ Thattamma, thank you! ❤
