Absorb/Repel - #TankaTuesday #haiku #tanka #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro

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
