Tanka Puente for Tankatuesday

A Tanka Puente is a a tanka poem with a prose bridge between two parts. Mine is about my frustrated ambition to be published by a publishing company. Thanks as always to tankatuesday for the prompt.

Living inspired
Magic and my characters
Alive and speaking
My thoughts my words my stories
My world becoming the world

~My love of writing is not enough. My ambition requires publication.~

Success desired
Acceptance by publishers
Close calls, rejections
Not enough for me because
My dreams stride across the world

This is a great poem. I have never aspired to be traditionally published as I already work for a corporate. One is enough for me 🤗🌺

Heinlein said, “Time brings everything to those who wait.” I used to wait religiously but now I know you have to go out there and get it. Boz, you are doing what you can, you are trying and you have the ambition for it. Someone else said, “Hard work pays off.”
