Hello, beautiful readers! I tried every day last week to find a moment to write poetry, but every day got away from me. By the time I was able to rest, it was past 8 pm, and my brain was too exhausted to function. I missed a lot of great prompts last week, but I wanted to make the effort to at least write about the prompt I created for the #TankaTuesday prompt last Tuesday. The prompt asked writers to focus on the word veil. So, I wrote a tanka.
I wonder that it's because they are brief they are more treasured and sought? I like this reflection on the veil.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite possible, Paul! Thanks for visiting! :-)

DeleteI like how different traditions respect those who have gone on...
ReplyDeleteI can't say that I've ever really felt the presence of such... but maybe they were there just when I needed them :)
I love the different traditions as well, Jules! Thanks for stopping by. :-)
