Hello, beautiful readers! For this week's #TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge, Colleen invites us to write a poem about the color associated with our zodiac sign based on the chart she provided. As I am a Pisces, my color is pink. I chose to write a tanka poem that celebrates spring and pink in nature.

bright cherry blossoms
pink strawberries grown on vines
spring is in full bloom
roseate spoonbills eat shrimp
sky blushes at sun's rising

DeleteYou have drawn in all the pink from nature in your poem.
ReplyDeleteThat was my focus. Thanks for stopping by, Reena! :-)
DeleteI love this so much, Yvi. I had a Vedic astrologer look at my chart, and she said I'm an Aquarius, Pisces, and then an Aries. I've always felt this reflects my personality! Love the shades of pink you shared in your poem. The imagery is so vivid. 💖
ReplyDeleteThank you, Colleen! I've always felt we are a blend of a few signs, not just one. Thanks for sharing! :-)

DeletePink used to not be a color I would have chosen for myself... until both of my sons came along... with three guys and me - I got pink just so they wouldn't borrow my sweatshirts!
ReplyDeleteLovely tanka :) 💟
Haha! That's great, Jules! It's not a color that I tend to gravitate toward. Yellow and green are my favorite colors. Thanks for sharing! :-)
