Hi, dear blog friends,
It's Tanka Tuesday, and poet Colleen Chesebro has another wonderful prompt. She asks that contributing poets use synonyms for Create and Bright. How perfect for this changing season!
My poem emerges from a reflection on home - where it is and isn't. Like many, I've lived in multiple locations (see below). Perhaps because of this, home isn't a house on a specific street, but rather it is a sacred place deep within.
Each state/country has a distinct beauty and culture, shaped by its history, but the one common thread is our human nature. No matter where I've pitched my tent, I've found that people are the same at heart. We are a family. Whether we live on the East Coast or West Coast, in the desert or in the mountains, on a lake or next to a prairie, we are more alike than different.

My simple poem:
Have a wonderful week, dear friends. I am traveling and with family, so I won't be on social media much. Wishing you much laughter and a multitude of ways to celebrate the gift of life. ❤️
