Be It Ever so Humble, It is Magic #TankaTuesday

Abhanga

Brood Affinity

the clan will have your back
tolerate your crotchets 
bliss but for the hatchet
better not stray

you belong...
the nuttiest circus
here you grow
free to be
nothing upsets the kinship-- 
warmth you can count on

Family & Peace are the prompt words at Colleen’s Wordcraft Poetry
where the second week calls for synonyms only. Thanks, Colleen.
Happy to participate this week.

You can craft a syllabic form of your choice found on the cheatsheet
OR from Poetscollective.org. It’s time for us to branch out!
BE creative and try new forms. Make sure you follow the directions on
how to write the form. Don’t forget to tell us what form you chose.

      Still learning the ropes of counting and getting the rhythm and the closest best words. It’s an art, I tell you. I’m an enthusiast of this.
      Thanks for the visit and kind words. Be well.
