A #TankaTuesday poem -- I Remember

6/7/2022

39 Comments

 
 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.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
