Here’s Colleen Chesebro TANKA TUESDAY POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 209, POETS CHOICE.
I decided to use a photograph I took last weekend while on a Harley ride as my Tanka’s inspiration.
Now usually in January, the Yuba River is flowing high, but not this year. The warm winter day brought out not only people but something else too.
A GIFT
In the reflection
On a warm winter morning
Over the river
I heard the fairy’s sweet song
That awakened my magic.
“A fairy’s sweet song,” so beautiful. That’s a river I’d like to cross. 💗
Thank you. Gwen 😉 I’ll cross it with you! Xo
A lovely poem for a lovely river. Beautiful, Denise 🙂
Thanks, Harmony. It was a lovely sight and from a perspective I usually don’t see as we usually are on that bridge or driving by.
Beautiful
Thank you 🙂
That is magical. Nicely done, Denise.
It was moment to see that view and I tried to do it justice. Thanks, Staci!
Ooo, I REALLY like this one, Denise. I didn’t expect the direction it led, but I positively love it!
Thank you, Mae;) We never stop and see this view and this day it was amazing. I kept thinking magical portal.
Well done, Denise. A fairy’s sweet song is a gift for sure.

A perfect response to the prompt, Denise! Don’t tell anyone, but you are my favorite poet! 🙂
