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.

It seems like your daughter sees the world with fresh eyes and, in a way, allows you to do the same.
Nice poem. 🙂
It’s true, Ben; I think that’s the preciousness of parenthood, no? 😀
Yours,

I don’t know, yet, but plan to find out. 🙂
You’ve done a great work!

Welcome 🙏
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.
