Thank you to the editor Julie Anne Thorndyke for an exquisite production of the latest Eucalypt Issue 38.
I can always feel the love and care in the selection and placement of the tanka on the page
which of cousre enriches each one tanka.
Your work is appreciated.
I am proud to be included with so many fine Tanka writers and sensitive work in this latest issue.

It was so special to be sharing the page with my dear friend Beverley George with our similiar sentiment .
a red dragonfly
rests on a white lotus
for a brief moment
time stands still
in a maelstrom world
Colleen Keating
for an hour
the eastern water dragon
rests beside me . . .
innate trust
and companionship

It was exciting to see a new tanka from Pip Griffin written after her recent journey to Canberra where she enjoyed the new Installation by Lindy Lee
Lee’s Ouroboros * –
coiled apertures
dance us into light
colour us with rainbows
shower us in stars
