Tanka Art from Kathy Uyen Nguyen

     I'm so excited to get my package in the mail. Why? Because Kathy will be sending me her artwork with our 2nd collaborative tanka! Click here to see how we came up with this lovely poem.

     Here's what she wrote on her Facebook page.

From my virtual birthday party: 2nd personalized #haiga #tanka on parchment paper will go to Chrissi Villa! This tanka is very special because Chrissi and I wrote it together. Mailing it out tomorrow!

Media: Calligraphy ink, stencil, Sharpie pens, stamp ink, watercolor crayons, Copic markers, and pigmented ink

all this stirring in my heart

I find your hand in mine

Thank you, my dear friend, for this lovely collaborative tanka.

I catch a song

of a sparrow

opening my window

I catch a song 

of a sparrow . . .

if only my words could

fill such fragrance

Finally, my very first collaborative tanka with Kathy Uyen Nguyen. :-)
