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
