Manifestation of Dreams - #TankaTuesday #choka #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro

Hello, beautiful readers! I am hosting over at #TankaTuesday this week, and I hope you'll join us to write poetry. This week, I've challenged everyone to write about a dream that has come true or one that fell apart. It's such a beautiful day outside my window, and I'm feeling optimistic, so I thought I'd write about a dream coming true.

For today's prompt, I've chosen to write a choka, which is an unrhymed poem that alternates five and seven-syllable lines and then ends with an extra seven-syllable line. It is also often followed with another short poem called a hanka. The hanka summarizes, supplements, or elaborates on the contents of the main poem. I've chosen to write a nine-line choka with a syllabic pattern of 5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7-7 followed by a tanka.

manifestation

you came to me in a dream

filled my soul with song

entered my life with a click

instant connection

easy, comfortable talks

laughter fills the air

magnetic relationship

dream became reality

winter dreams dormant

seeds buried deep carry hope

earth begins to thaw

spring awakens with whispers

beauty explodes all around
