Time to play . . .

10/19/2021

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...
