It's Tanka Tuesday, and poet Selma Martin has a special prompt for interested participants. She asks that we use synonyms for these two words in our poem: mindless and humdrum.
I've focused on the morning light. Daily, I am moved by the silence that accompanies this early morning experience, and almost without fail, I see that which I didn't see the day before. My tanka uses these synonyms to capture the experience - daydreaming, everyday, and treadmills.
I hope you enjoy it.
