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.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy I can give you motivation. I appreciate you sharing, Paul! You've got this! :-)
DeleteWe 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! :)
I wish we could stay with longer days. I hate the time change. Thanks for stopping by, Jules. :-)
