Hello, beautiful readers! We are still dealing with abnormally cold weather in Miami. It should be warming up soon but not soon enough for me. I need my beach weather back! Lol!
Today, I've combined two different prompts. The first is dVerse's Poetics: The Smile in the Simile where we are asked to include a simile in our poem. The second is Melissa's Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge #358, which provided the image below. I chose to write a tanka.

tentacle suctions
like a clingy boyfriend's arms
an iron-clad grip
holds on tight to what it wants
interests wane; he lets go
Would you like to participate in either of these challenges? Click the links below:
Great simile, Yvette! I hope you get that warm weather soon xo
ReplyDeleteOuch... good riddance of such a clingy person.
ReplyDeleteThat simile, so relatable, is also so accurate to both species of creature: "clingy . . . arms" indeed.
