Hello blog friends, I've another poem to share. Author Colleen Chesebro posted a new challenge which includes the stipulation that participants use synonyms for the words TWILIGHT and HUE.

I've written a simple tanka poem for this week's syllabic submission. As you'll read, it follows a familiar theme. I hope you enjoy it and also hope you'll join in the fun.

Have a wonderful weekend! 💗

Dissolving: loved the imagery of this word.
We do dissolve into the moment. Lovely take on the prompt. And then the photo. Wow. Made me give in to dissolving. The poem had me meld into the lovely moment. Thanks for sharing.
