Persephone's Arrival - #MoonwashedWeeklyPrompt #tanka #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro


Hello, beautiful readers! For this week's Moonwashed Weekly Prompt, Eugi provides us with the picture above and the poem below and invites us to create a poem inspired by the words/images. Here is her poem:

dressed in pretty pink
blossoms blush shyly
nature's cosmetics

In my neck of the woods, it feels like we are already in summer, but I know many people are still enjoying the coming of spring. So, I chose to use the image and a few of the words/phrases in a tanka. I have bolded and italicized the words I've used.

weary winter leaves
as Persephone enters
dressed in pretty pink
she wields nature's cosmetics
gaily redecorating

    1. She came and went fairly quickly over here. Our temps are already in the 90s. Thanks for stopping by, Eugi! :-)
