Congratulations to Colleen M Chesebro and Robbie Cheadle. #newbook #anthology #newrelease #poetry

Robbie and Colleen are excited to share that the 2025 edition of Sunflower Tanka has published.

I’m delighted to have my poems, My New Friend, (Experimental Tanka Prose,) She Finds A Strength, (Garland Tanka,) and Discovering Loves Truth in Dreams, (Tanka Puente,) in the anthology. There were I believe a record number of contributors!

Well done to everyone who contributed to the anthology and to Robbie and Colleen for their fabulous hard work in bringing this all together.

Here’s the link to Colleen’s blog post. Do visit her blog:

New Release – Sunflower Tanka: A 2025 Anthology of Tanka, Tanka Prose, & Experimental Tanka

You will find the book available in print, Kindle, and Kindle Unlimited.

They’ve kept their prices the same as last year.

The theme of “dreams,” was perfect for 2025.

They’re looking forward to 2026, and another wonderful year of writing syllabic together.

To purchase the anthology:

Here is the blurb:

Sunflower Tanka, edited by Robbie Cheadle and Colleen M. Chesebro, is an annual anthology showcasing contemporary tanka, tanka prose, and experimental tanka.

Each volume brings together a vibrant tapestry of voices—both emerging and established—from across the globe.

For 2025, our theme “Dreams” invites poets to explore the symbolic language of dreaming, where metaphors blur the line between reality and imagination.

Dreams often serve as gateways to layered meaning, offering fertile ground for syllabic poetry.

This year’s contributors journeyed deep into their dreamscapes, opening portals to boundless creativity.

Through the timeless form of syllabic verse, they captured visions that transcend waking life, weaving poetry that resonates with mystery, wonder, and the infinite possibilities of the human imagination.✨ ✨

✨Robbie and Colleen want to thank each of you for helping us bring the craft of writing syllabic poetry into your hearts.

We’re so proud of all the hard work from our poets and the Tanka Tuesday community. We couldn’t do this without you.

Thank you.

Please share the publication news of this exciting new edition.

Reviews are an author’s dream. We thank you in advance for your reviews. ❤️🎅🏻

Robbie created a video for the 2025 Sunflower Tanka Anthology. She grabbed many magical lines from the submitted poetry, as she shares some of her amazing artwork.

The Faintest of Tickles #cricket #writing #anthology

Thank you to Alex Pearl for inviting me to write a poem for this charity anthology of cricket writing. Here’s me with my copy.

Book overview

“In this beautifully curated anthology, authors and writers who might never normally do so are given free rein to train their gaze on this most full-bodied of sporting muses. What results is a reminder that truly nothing in life cannot be improved with a generous dollop of cricket.”Daniel Norcross

This eclectic collection of short stories, reminiscences, essays, and poems will appeal to anyone with a soft spot for the noblest of summer games. Besides being entertained and amused by this compilation, the reader will discover some interesting and little-known cricketing facts such as Adolf Hitler’s view of the game.

Alongside a Foreword penned by Daniel Norcross, contributors to this attractive addition to the rich canon of cricket writing include:● John Corcut ● Bud Craig ● Judith Cutler ● Jessica Davis ● Geoffrey Dean ● Robert Deighton ● Isabelle Duncan ● Laura E. Goodin ● Pete Langman ● Ben Macintyre ● M. J. Mallon ● Jonathan Margolis ● Sean O’Leary ● Ann Parker ● Alex Pearl ● David Pearl ● Hugh Salmon ● Paul Stewart ● Sarah Traynor ● David Whittle ● Peter Wise ● David Alan Woods

All authors’ royalties are being donated to Surrey County Cricket Club’s charity foundation.

It was a tricky one as I don’t know much about cricket.

So I wrote a cheeky poem entitled Faking it! Jock Strap Blues which seemed to go down well 🤔

Review of the anthology (my poem gets a wee mention!)

I hope all you fans of cricket will enjoy!

Book Review

Sunflower Tanka (Anthology)

This is a beautiful collection of tanka, tanka prose, garland tanka, tanka puente
and rensaku, (if you are unfamiliar, Robbie Cheadle’s The Buffalo, & Jacaranda Blue, and Kay Castenada’s three rensaku, are all fantastic.)

Sunflower Tanka is lovingly edited by Colleen Chesebro and Robbie Cheadle with the theme ‘into the light.’ I loved all the different interpretations, how meaningful and different they all were.

I am honoured to have three off my tanka poems included.

This review relates to all of the other lovely poems

They are all favourites but here are some of my choices to highlight:

Lisa Fox with her tanka prose about creating sourdough from scratch and eating the finished product with peanut butter really made me smile.

Chris Hall, her tanka poems about the seasons, spring, early summer, late summer, autumn and winter are sublime.

Luanne Castle’s Lesson (Tanka prose,) about her care of her baby grandson. And a  hummingbird, sharing, ‘our duties of protection.’ 

Brenda Marie with her wonderful soul inspired Tanka.

Melissa Davilio’s lovely tanka about a rainbow uplifting her downcast mood.

Reena Saxena’s amusing double tanka about the brevity of haiku extended by ‘two more lines of wisdom.’

I enjoyed Lisa Smith Nelson’s tanka, (Sweater Weather,) tanka puente, and tanka prose, Driving Blind.)

Colleen Chesebro’s tankas celebrating  moonlight, an owl and nocturnal insects.

Moving tanka prose from Marsha Ingrao about her cancer treatment which ends on a hopeful note. And from D. Wallace Peach (My Mother’s Death,) a touchingly written personal tanka prose. Merril D. Smith’s April 2020 tanka prose during covid about loss, sadness, light and love remembered. And from Robbie Cheadle a truly relatable poem about growing older through the generations, (Family Gathering.)

Selma Martin’s visual tanka begins by taking you on an eagle’s wing. How poetry can really move you! 

Sunflower Tanka’s international flavour made it even more interesting for me with poets from the US, UK, Japan, Philippines, Uganda, Mexico, South Africa, Scotland/Portugal, Australia, Italy and India.

Keen poetry enthusiasts will be delighted to be gifted this anthology. What a pleasure to dip into the pages whenever you fill the need to bask into the light!

Robbie Cheadle is a gifted artist, the gorgeous cover and interior formatted by Colleen Chesebro depicts Robbie’s favourite flower, the Sunflower.

Highly recommended. 5 🌟

Inspiration for “My Balance” by Abe Margel

How much do we really know about our neighbours?
Whether you live on a farm, in an apartment or a house you probably know little about your neighbours’ lives. What have you learned about the purple hair woman you’ve shared an elevator with a dozen times, the one that lives on the sixth floor? For two years you’ve bumped into each other in the same little cubicle, nodded hello then stared at the wall. Who is she? What’s her job? Does she have a husband, kids, a python, a hash pipe?
The fellow with the dragon tattoos that lives right next door to you, the guy who just built a tree house for his five kids, what does he do for a living? Why do you never see his wife, the mother of all those children? Who’s white van is parked in his driveway every Tuesday night from exactly nine-fifteen to exactly eleven-fifteen?
Of course you could ask them but then they might have questions of their own. Why is a young woman like you always dressed in navy blue, and only navy blue; navy blue skirt, top, shoes, socks, coat, mittens, scarf, hat? And what happened to the engagement ring you were wearing last month? Why did it disappear? Well, it’s none of their business is it? Is it?

The fictional story, My Balance, grew out of a conversation with a friend. Andre had been in an accident and told me how difficult it was for him to get around in the walking cast he was now required to use. After months of rolling around in the back of my mind a plot emerged. I envisioned a man in a walking cast returning from the hospital to his empty home. On his street he is surprised to discover an ambulance is sitting by his neighbour’s house. The story’s main character, George Fitzpatrick, is a divorced middle-aged man who’s balance is literally and emotionally off. His irascible neighbour, Francis Allard, is largely a mystery to George.
We learn in the story that as difficult a person to like as Francis was, he nevertheless seems to have had a soft spot for George. Or did he? Exactly how little George knew about Francis becomes clear as the narrative progresses to its troublesome end.
