Creaky Hinges - #TankaTuesday #dVerse #personification #noise #tanka #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro



Hello, beautiful readers! I'm combining prompts again. The first is dVerse - Poets Pub's Poetics prompt, where Mish invites us to write a poem about noise. I've bolded and italicized my noise words.

For the #TankaTuesday challenge, Robbie invites us to use personification in our poem. Personification is a literary element that gives humanlike qualities to objects. I've underlined my personification. I decided to write a tanka to combine these prompts.

my angry door screams
tired of being neglected
complains with each move
a soft caress of smooth oil
hinge sighs with satisfaction


Would you like to write a poem for either of these prompts? Click the links below:

  1. Funny how often these irritations continue until we reach a tipping point and finally fix them...

    1. Me, too, especially my classroom door! Lol! I finally gave up on waiting for a custodian to fix it and took WD-40 to work and fixed it myself. Thanks for visiting, Jules! :-)

  7. Yvi, there's nothing worse than a squeaky door! This tanka is a good capture of that moment. ๐Ÿ’œ
