Hello, beautiful readers! For this week's #TankaTuesday, Selma invites us to write a series of Badger's Hexastich poems (no more than three stanzas) about one of the activities we enjoy doing in the spring. This poetry form consists of six lines with a 2-4-6-6-4-2 syllabic pattern.
spring clean
out with the old
declutter all spaces
create good energy
sage around rooms
new start
clear mind
release what was
embrace the positive
focus on gratitude
mindful moments
peaceful
Would you like to write a Badger's Haxastich? Join us here.
