I forgot Poet, Harryette Mullens, who published "Urban Tumbleweed: a Tanka Diary' where she explains how she decided to render her tanka into three lined stanzas purposely.

In #LouisianaCreole folklore, Madamm Gran Dwa is a holiday shapeshifter. 🌙

She’s described as both the benevolent "Mrs. Claus" of the South and an attic-dwelling witch who drags children away by their toes. 🕯️👵

A truly unique Christmas legend. ⚜️
