Hello, beautiful poets! I hosted at #TankaTuesday this week, so despite my busy weekend, I'm participating in the prompt. This week, we are writing syllabic poetry using the words absorb or repel. I decided to write a haiku using the word absorb.
feet dug deep in sand
release what no longer serves
absorb healing vibes
And then I chose to write a tanka for repel.
darkness descends fast
time change hinders nature's way
repel winter woes
time to rest, rejuvenate
there's beauty in all seasons
Would you like to write a poem with either of these words? Join us here.
I think this is what I would call, the best of both worlds. Just lovely, Yvette.

DeleteThis speaks to exactly the experience I'm in, letting go, releasing what no longer serves, encouraged by this.
ReplyDeleteWe don't really need to mess with changing the clocks anymore... but humans like to fool themselves. I think I'd like some warm sand for my toes!
ReplyDeleteAs for darkness... it is only 6pm and dusk is full on! :)
