Nature's Beauty - #WDYS #tanka #haiku #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #nature @YvetteMCalleiro

Hello, beautiful readers! For this week's What Do You See? prompt, Sadje provided us with two images and invited us to let them inspire us to write a poem. I decided to write a tanka poem for the first image, which is a poem of five lines with a 5-7-5-7-7 syllabic pattern. The third line tends to be the pivot point and lends itself to both the first two lines and the last two lines. Then, I wrote a haiku for the second image. A haiku is three lines with a 5-7-5 syllabic pattern and usually focuses on nature.

bright, crisp fall morning

white smoke lazily rises

water calmly drifts

until turbine pulls it in

soothing, trickling sense of peace

focused perception

notice what is important

mother nature's gifts
