Protect Your Heart - #TankaTuesday #Hautt #hexastich #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro


Hello, beautiful readers! I am fully enjoying spring break by waking up without an alarm. Truly, that brings me such joy. I'm also getting caught up on tasks around the house and finding time to hang out with friends.

Today, I'm participating in the #TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge, where Melissa invites us to write a Hautt poem. This form uses a hexastich with a syllabic pattern of 4-5-2-2-5-4 and focuses on wisdom and eternal truth. I chose to focus on wisdom and how experiences leads to being wiser in the future.

Protect Your Heart

lies coat your lips
should have trusted gut
truths learned
love lost
heart takes precautions
in the future
