A #TankaTuesday poem -- I Remember

6/7/2022

Hello blog friends, it's Tanka Tuesday and author Colleen Chesebro invites us to create a syllabic poem using color. My poem is a butterfly cinquain of 9 lines with the pattern 2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2.

As many of you know, I walk in the early morning. By 6 AM, I'm on a desert path accompanied only by wildlife. The local birds and the occasional bunny are my companions. And always, with the sunrise, my spirit soars.

Whatever calms your heart and allows your spirit to rise, I wish that for you today. 💗

My poem...

Have a wonderful week, dear friends, and may blessings abound.
