Hello blog friends! Today I've another poem to share. Author Colleen Chesebro posted a #tankatuesday prompt which is irresistible. 

​Using the photo to the left by Sangeetha, we are to create a syllabic poem. Because it's brilliantly sunny outside, I've decided to play a bit. Sangeetha's photo is now part of a larger scene.

​I hope you enjoy my poem and find time to play during the day. We so need to, don't you think?

​Big hugs...​

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
