A Grandma's Delight

4/13/2021

Hello friends! Author Colleen Chesebro posted another poetry challenge, asking for submissions using synonyms of the two words, SEARCH and LOST. If you go to her site, you'll find loads of information and encouragement: Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge #221 Synonyms Only.

I've chosen to write a Tanka poem of 5-7-5-7-7 syllables and selected a photo of my precious granddaughter. I hope you enjoy.

Hi,
Her eyes express so much. Curious yet cautious, she's exploring her world with laughter and joy.
I like your poem about her very much.
