Hello, beautiful readers! It's been a busy week for me. School has started, which means I have much less time on my hands (as if I ever really had much down time...lol). I'm happy with my schedule, and the kids seem receptive to my positive energy bubble that fortifies my room. So, here's so hoping for another wonderful year!
This week, the #TankaTuesday 24 Seasons Syllabic Poetry Challenge is still in the season of Risshu. Colleen Chesebro has challenged us to create a poem that includes sunflowers. Sunflowers have always been my favorite flower. Yellow and green are my favorite colors, and I love the vibrancy of the sunflower. I also love that they rise to face the sun instead of the darkness.
I chose to write a haiku, which consists of three lines with a 5-7-5 syllabic pattern. My kigo words are bolded and italicized.

ReplyDelete(Jules) I enjoy seeing fields of sunflowers. Unfortunately on of the places that they used to grow... and over 55 community sprouted up.
