Harvest Moon

9/28/2021

Hi dear friends, it's #Tanka Tuesday and author Colleen Chesebro invites us to participate in another poetry prompt. Since it's the fourth Tuesday of the month, we're to respond to a theme -- the Harvest Moon.

I had fun with this one, imagining younger years under the moonlight. I hope you like it. Won't you join in with your poem? Mine's a simple Tanka, syllables 5-7-5-7-7, but you can choose any syllabic form.

Have a wonderful week!

It's so strange, Gwen. Your responses didn't show up on the notification on my blog for the last few times I commented. I followed you but your blog posts don't come to my Reader. I bookmarked your blog to make sure to visit. When I click the link, I have to go through several steps to get to your blog.

Anyways, I'm just curious of what happened. I hope you're back to normal from your allergy now.
