My Birthday Tanka Runneth Over

My thirty-ninth  year,

 

 

Today September second.

 

 

Content and filled with

 

 

Joy, love, family and friends.

 

 

My birthday tanka is full!

 

 

*This weeks WordPress weekly writing challenge was to write a tanka (related to the haiku, probably cousins) which traditionally contains five lines instead of haiku’s three, and 31 syllables instead of 17. The structure is that of a haiku followed by two additional lines of seven syllables each: 5-7-5-7-7. It just happened to be my birthday 🙂
