Colleen’s prompt words this week are heat and confuse.
I reckon I’ll write a passionate Tanka this week! Why? I’m feeling happy having just set up my author page on Amazon: Amazon Buying Link… for my debut novel The Curse of Time – Book 1 – Bloodstone, even though it was stressful setting it up….
Yes, formatting isn’t my favourite job. It made me confused, hot, headache prone and more than a bit irritable, so let’s have some passionate poetry to make me feel less stressed! Lol…

Very interesting, let’s give it a go
Glad you enjoyed Phil. 🙂
As all lovers should. Love it, Marge!
Congrats on your book cover!
Thanks Susie. So glad you loved it! Thanks for the congrats too. xx
I’m on my 876th revision of my first! I consider it my workbook. It’s unfortunate that I keep learning new techniques. Ha! I’m pulling the plug soon. Kudos to you.
It’s taken me countless revisions and years to get to this point. Being a writer is such hard work! And this is meant to be a trilogy! My God I will exhaust myself in the process. Maybe two books will suffice? Lol…
I know what you mean! I mentioned the same thing to Danny last night. He said, “Maybe all of your books should be standalone novels.” Thing is, if I had started five years ago, knowing everything I know now, it wouldn’t have taken so long. We’ll see.

Setting anything up–like your Amazon page–makes me a little crazy, too. You did it, though! Go you. You found the perfect outlet in a little love poetry. Very nice. Looking forward to the cover reveal!
Thank you Angela. Yes there’s nothing quite like love poetry to make me feel more like myself again! Lol. Thanks for popping by and commenting. 🙂
Wonderful Marjorie!
Thank you Ritu. 🙂 x
Bravo on the Amazon page setup; always daunting until you get stuck in I imagine. Looking forward to checking your book out too. That and the cover reveal post! Congratulations all round methinks 🙂
Love this Tanka, Marie. Congratulations! All your hard work is evident now. Onward and upward! <3
Awesome poem! Thanks for sharing it with us! 🙂
Lol, good use of the word prompt Marje. Congrats for getting through formatting! 🙂 xx
I did see this when you posted it, but am glad I returned – I think you filled your poem with more passion than mine.
Thank you Trent what a sweet comment. Yours is awesome too, double passion inspired! Xx
Phew! Steamy, Marje! I loved it 🙂
Ha ha! I enjoyed writing steamy for a change!
