A #TankaTuesday Journey

3/1/2022

Hello blog friends, it's Tanka Tuesday and poet Colleen Chesebro has another prompt. This week she invites us to submit a poem featuring a shade of green. My poem is a Butterfly Cinquain with syllables of 2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2.

The photo below is from Canva, but I've walked in forests just like this, and it's always a mystical experience. I've entitled this poem - Follow The Light.

Have a fantastic week! Maybe with a walk in nature? I hope you're able to. 💗

Gwen, what a stunning butterfly cinquain. You captured the quiet beauty of the forest. I'm so eager to see green this year. I think I have Spring Fever! <3

It's going to be a few months before I can follow the call of your poem into the tranquil green forest, but I can be patient for that reward. All in good time . . .

Something to dream about, right? All in good time.... 😊

That's a soothing poem. My only greens are snow covered evergreens for a while but the woods are always good.

Gwen Plano

Hopefully the snow will lift soon. We all need the peace the evergreens bring. Thank you so much for your kind words. 😊
