#tanka by new contributor, Joy Hallinan. Born in the 60’s flower child era, Joy spent many happy unsupervised hours roaming the woods & building secret girls-only forts. Her haiku, tanka, haibun, and tanka prose poems have been widely published. By day, Joy is a not-for-profit leader working with vulnerable populations. At night, fairy lights dance on her high-rise balcony & if you listen closely you might hear her singing madrigals. #poetry #gardenia #Atlanta
