A Child's Delight

9/14/2021

Hello blog friends! I hope all is going well for you, and also hope you're enjoying the last traces of summer. It's still pretty warm in northern Arizona, but mornings and evenings are delightful.

As you might suspect, it's #Tanka Tuesday, and author Colleen Chesebro invites all of us to participate in another poetry prompt. This week we're to use synonyms for the words Family and Peace.

My submission is a Butterfly Cinquain of 2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2 syllables. I've entitled it A Child's Delight. It was fun to write and hopefully, fun for you to read. 😊

Perhaps you'd like to submit a poem? If so, just click on Colleen's name and you'll travel to her website where you'll find lots of helpful information. Hope to see you among Colleen's tribe!

Have a wonderful week!
