Hello, beautiful readers! This week, Colleen Chesebro is challenging us to write an Ekphrastic poem for the #TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge. Here is the painting she provided.
I decided to use a new form created by Jules called the Inchworm. Colleen included it in her list of new poetry forms created by fellow poets here. It contains four lines with a 2-4-6-8 syllabic pattern. So, here is my poem:
Winter Delight
cold days
bring excitement
she can venture outside
days like these let her hide her hook
That's all I've got for you today. But seriously, look at the size of that muff! Tell me that you aren't wondering now what she's hiding in there! 😂
Haha, nice one! :)

DeleteHer hook! Awesome surprise at the end and a great response to the visual prompt.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Priscilla! I just kept thinking what she could possibly be hiding in there, and that's what I came up with. I'm glad you liked it. :-)
DeleteI like the way your imagination works, Yvette. Good for fishing for lunch :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! The way she's dressed, I doubt she's skilled enough for that. ;-) Thanks for stopping by, JadeLi! :-)
Delete(Jules) Thank you for the nod... I have to go and look for that page now :)
ReplyDeleteOOh... just what is her hook... a glance, a crochet hook... or her shepards crook? :D
I was completely thinking Captain Hook's hook! ;-) Thanks for stopping by, Jules! :-)
DeleteThe suspense, love it. She can definitel hide just about anything in there.✨
