I’m participating this week in tanka Tuesday.

I am going to write about training with my guide dog Nitro.

I’m writing a tanka.

#Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge, Specific Theme, 10/8/2024 – Tanka Tuesday

In morning’s soft light,

Nitro leads with steady paws,

Trust built step by step,

Navigating life’s course,

Together, we find our way.
