Here’s Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge #217.
This week’s theme is “Immortality.”
I immediately wrote several haikus/senryus when I sat and thought about his word. I put three together to explore what’s next, and added a picture I took recently.
My soul a tenant
An earthly body rental
Soon I’ll return home.
*
My body withers
As my memories flood me
Pure light welcomes.
*
I free my last breath
Leaving behind all I’ve known
Starting my journey.
