Hiraeth - a tankaThanks, Carole, I faced twin problems of encapsulating 'hiraeth' -as you infer a nebulous concept without English equivalent within the constraints of the tanka format. Hopefully I captured it. Rick.ViewDate:

Tea With AnushkaI just checked Anna Anderson - the Romanov claimant - an exotic of my childhood - and it seems, sadly, that her DNA was not a match - that Crick and Watson double helix eh? - A myth killer :(ViewDate:

Tea With AnushkaPerhaps there is Anushka in a dimension a sliver away from this one. Perhaps that Anushka spoke through to this dimension via my creative imagination's portal? Who can tell? Rick.ViewDate:

Tea With Anushkaps Like around 80 percent of my poems 'Anushka' is entirely imaginary - I would assume that she has faded more over time and is a Miss Havisham still clinging to her past glories - real or imagined - maybe she feeds the pigeons in the municipal gardens. I am gratified that you thought she and 'I' were real characters - I like to get 'inside' my creations and work my way out with credibility and integrity. Oh and the van would have carted her stuff back...until the day a 'private ambulance' takes her away :)ViewDate:

Uploading photos to your social profilesIt seems I am not alone in finding difficulty adding a photo to my profile - there is a heap of info here - much of it inapplicable - all I want is a 'go to' pointer. Thanks in anticipation. AT.ViewDate:

Tea With AnushkaAnushka (the poem) derived from hearing a child say they had been invited to tea with Anushka - so I began to wonder who? what? why? where and when was this person? I've no idea as to her psychology or history however I suspect she is a bit like the woman who claimed to be Anastasia - just a little bit crazy :) Thanks for liking it. It is one from my collection "Not For Sale" Rick (aka Albert T) -
