Kerry, I love the form. Reading the article made me lonesome for lost work. It's been a long time since I've attempted tanka. Excited to work more at it. Thanks for inviting the professor to share his thoughts.
We've never been a sports watching family...not this one and not my last one but I like the togetherness that it seems to bring people...maybe we'll start watching...we do have two boys that might eventually show an interest...you never know.
I like what you captured in this...it's sharp and present.
Love the close-up pic of the football. :-)
ReplyDeleteFootball rules in my house. I'll be pretty much left to fending for myself until January. lol
ReplyDeleteAll the sights and scents of autumn wrapped up delightfully!
ReplyDeleteIt is so true that specific seasons are associated with sport! This is a very different take on what Autumn brings.
