Thanks and blessings to folk ku journal for publishing these two tanka of mine in folk ku #4.

Folk ku is an international haiku and tanka journal based in Australia dedicated to the memory of Master Masaoka Shiki, who wrote much of his pieces while bedridden with tuberculosis, and includes translations of some of his haiku.
