       Greetings from the Creative Workshop where writing is so much fun.

       The Creative Writing students just finished writing Japanese Haiku 

       Poetry. Next they will be start Tanka Poetry which is very much like

       Haiku except the last two lines have 7 syllables in them.

       Here is a Tanka Poem I put together. It goes with the season we are

       in right now.

                              
       Tanka Poetry has 5 lines:      Title:  Season of Advent
          Line 1: (5 syllables)               Jesus is coming,
          Line 2: (7 syllables)            December is the season,
          Line 3: (5 syllables)               A time for waiting,
          Line 4: (7 syllables)            For the Savior to be born,
          Line 5: (7 syllables)            Christmas time is here at last.
