Performed Tanka reading at a meeting "Haiku Poets of Northern California" (HPNC) at Fort Mason, San Francisco. Although it was the meeting for Haiku poets, all the participants were highly interested in Tanka, and accepted me in a very favorable atmosphere.
I was so happy to know that some of the participants actually started Tanka composition, in addition to Haiku, after hearing my reading performance at HPNC some years ago.
Keeping in mind my gratitude towards them, I would like to make more efforts to offer better performance.
