TankaNetz is a German site dedicated to tanka and tanka prose. Apart from a selection of my work and glimpses at international tanka poetry, it provides background information and tutorials. Visitors who are not familiar with the German language are welcome to read the English versions of my tanka and tanka prose.
"Love"
I close the letter,

once again, just to be
with you a little longer
