Sisterly Love - #TankaTuesday #tankaprose #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro


Hello, beautiful readers! I am hosting again over at #TankaTuesday, and with my sister's 50th birthday next week, I decided to create a prompt that focused on sisterly love or sisterhood. My sister is my best friend, and I cannot imagine life without her. So I chose to write a tanka prose.


     


Sisterly Love

Though I am older than you by two years, I don't remember a time before you. Wherever I was, there you were. You were my first playmate. Whether we played with Barbies or My Little Ponies or we dribbled a soccer ball or skated in the carport, we were always together as children. Moving so often taught us we only had each other to rely on. No matter where we lived, you'd be there with me. Sure, we had some rough patches as all siblings do, but we always found our way back to each other. Even in my darkest moments, you loved me through them as no one else could. And five decades later, we are closer than ever, planning new adventures and making memories as often as possible. I am blessed to have you as my sister and my best friend.

constant companions
through this life's greatest journeys
in ev'ry season
just two peas in the same pod
creating special moments
