Here’s Colleen Chesbro’s Tanka Tuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge #240. It is a theme prompt that was provided by Vashti Quiroz-Vega, Lullaby.
I took a picture of my visit to the redwoods this summer and added a haiku 5/7/5 which makes this a haiga.

It’s a beautiful poem. I can feel the forest through your words.
Thank you, Priscilla 🙂 I find it such a healing place.
What a purrfect backdrop for your poignant verse. You are the Wordsmith Woman. xoxo
Thank you, Sandra. It’s hard to get a bad picture of trees 🙂 I like the name Wordsmith Woman! That could make a great western title! xo
There ya go, pardner;)

Trees are natural models for sure, but you caught the sun shining through at the purrfect angle;)

I was lucky a few years ago to visit a California forest and have a photo of my hand on a giant sequoia. I wish I could have spent more time there 😀
I never get tired of visiting the redwoods or sequios! There is a lot of natural beauty to see here, but glad you got be experience one of the gentle giants.
