Here’s Suzanne Burke’s week #29 ‘Fiction in a Flash Challenge.’
This image reminded me of dreams that were just out of reach. I wrote a few Tanka poems about that. This is the one that fits the picture the best.
Tanka is 5/7/5/7/7.
THE PATHWAY
Life’s long pathway
Tugs me towards its promise
Always out of reach…
Undeterred, I keep going
Until I reach my rainbow.
Lovely, lovely. This is one of your best, Denise. Absolutely beautiful! ✨✨✨
Thank you Gwen. Your comment means a lot to me. I had a lot of emotions looking at that picture. This wasn’t even my favorite poem I wrote. Sending lots of hugs. xo
Well done Denise. The idea of keeping a dream alive until you reach a rainbow is a terrific idea.
Thanks John. Yes, we should keep our dreams alive until we hit that goal or our rainbow:)
Loved this, Denise!
