Hello blog friends, it's "TankaTuesday again and author Colleen Chesebro offers another prompt. She asks that we create a syllabic poem using synonyms for these two words: green and morass. It's the monsoon season in my area, and my contribution reflects this fact. I hope you like it and also hope you join in the fun. Have a wonderful week!

Thank you, Robbie. 😊 7/13/2021 11:59:45
Gwen, what a lovely photo and tanka to go along! I lived in Prescott Valley, AZ for a few years as well in Phoenix... I remember those monsoons well. The last few years there was no rain. I'm hoping you guys fare better than we did. <3

Thanks so much, Colleen. We're renting right now, testing the waters, and then will decide where to permanently call home. 😊 7/14/2021 04:59:56

Beautiful, Gwen. I can see "Monsoon Tango" as a great title for a book! :)

Hi, Gwen! It's hurricane season in Florida. Your poem would work for us too. I love your tanka! Monsoon Tango—brilliant!

Beautiful poem, Gwen. We sometimes go to Las Vegas for a getaway. There were lightening and thunders on one of our trips. I didn't expect that to happen in the desert.

Thank you, Miriam. It rains almost every day now and it's wonderful to see. The Southwest desperately needs every drop. 💗

You described perfectly the feeling I had the first time I experienced the Arizona monsoons. Beautiful, Gwen! xo
