Dreamers...

Hi blog friends!

It's the first of the month and Colleen Chesebro has designated this week as a Poet's Choice. She encourages writers to follow their whims to create something beautiful.

That was an easy assignment for me, because a couple of days ago, I walked outside to find a magnificent rainbow. The photo below was taken from our driveway. Pretty amazing, right?  

I've entitled my poem DREAMERS and I've crafted a Tanka with syllables of 5-7-5-7-7.  I hope you like it.

Have a wonder-full and magical week. 💗

I love the line, "capturing dreamers like me." I think more writers are dreamers, which makes the world a happier, more beautiful place.
Love the rainbow! Love the poem.

Thank you dear Karen. I suspect you are right - many writers are dreamers. And we share an alternative world with our readers. 💗

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
