A #tanka about conjuring a 'little spring' into your winter season by popping in one (or two) fruity candy drops in your mouth. I hope you felt something like a bit of spring, move inside your soul as you read.
Pouring a glass of water on New Year's Day reflects me a buoyant star, bouncing in the water in my glass, and I write a tanka poem.
Um, yeah, I did it again. I managed another recording of my voice. And this time, er, added music-- that's me practicing one tune over and over on the piano. Another homemade-100%-heart creative-endeavor I put together for you. Happy holidays.
TANKA IN ENGLISH: 5/7/5/7/7 syllable structure. Your Tanka will consist of 5 lines written in the first-person point of view from the perspective of the poet. #dVerse #tanka #poetry
For most people, this time of the year is a pleasant period. I close my eyes and can smell it: Sweet clementine, cinnamon, clove, and anisette cookies. But I’m nowhere close to any of those things. What do you see when you close your eyes?
I wrote you a Tanka, dear friends. The tanka, unlike the haiku, is a less rigid form, and more casual than the haiku. It allows the imagination to help the poet express feelings. Today, my subjects sing loud while the ocean is a deafening echo that sounds like peace. It's the perfect time to write a poem. Enjoy.
Change what you can change accept the unchangeable know the difference untwist distorted thinks with realistic expectations manage emotions create habits that serve Speak only if it improves upon the silence Therein lies serenity
Selma's into poetry -- syllabic poetry! The forms I've chosen to share with you today feel as relaxing as when I'm with a knitting needle, counting stitches. That's what makes this form fun to write. I hope you enjoy them.
