Sweet Endearment - #FFFC #TankaTuesday #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #love @YvetteMCalleiro



Hello, beautiful readers! The weather is finally behaving appropriately in my area. It's still chilly in the mornings (50s), but it jumps up to the 70s by mid-day, so I'll take it. 

As this is Kindness Week and the week of love, I've decided to combine two prompts focused on love. The first is Melissa's Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge which provides the image below. The second is #TankaTuesday's challenge where Willow invites us to write a poem using a synonym of love or passion. I've bolded and italicized my synonym.

  7. Remembering romance? Even if just inspired by the photo - the little things always mean so much.
