Hi! Today I’m doing Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge #247. This week is Synonmyns Only and the words, Twilight & Hue were chosen by Willow Willers.
I came up with a Tanka poem and found this picture to accompany it.
landscape tinted red
under the heavy sunset
as darkness descends
luminescent moon rises
offering magical hope
The sun and the moon take turn to give us magical hope. Well written, Denise!
They do, Miriam! And I’m so glad 🙂
The nature takes care of us, Denise! 🙂
Very nice, Denise!
Thank you, Joan 🙂
A perfect combination of photo and poem, Denise. I love how you painted the transition between between sunset and moonrise. Beautifully done.
Thank you, Mae 🙂 It is a favorite time of mine and love the feeling of the moment.
What a gloriously hopeful Tanka and your photo is perfect 💜
Thank you, Willow 🙂 I had some great words to inspire me!
Thank you 💜
Wonderful! I love the eternal positive turn. Thanks for sharing, Denise! Enjoy a nice week! xx Michael
Thank you, Michael 🙂 Nature sure has a way of doing that!
The sky is so wonderful at this time of year, lots of inspiration for stories and poetry. Your poem captured it well!
Thank you, Elizabeth:) Yes, fall does offer up a ton of inspriation doesn’t it?
That is beautiful. I love trees, struggling, surviving.
Thanks, Jacqui! Trees are pretty darn inspiring aren’t they?
Purrfect poem. Purrfect pic to go with it:)

The best picture ever for this lovely tanka. Enjoyed. Thanks so much.
Lovely, Denise. It starts off dark and then ends with the twist into hope … brilliant 🙂
Thank you, Harmony. I’m always hoping things twist into magic!
Hello friends. Been trying to comment all day. Cannot. Particularly with Harmony. So allow me to butt in here. Last comment I attempted:
Hi Harmony. This is another test comment. I’ve been blocked from your comment site on all the posts I read today. “An unexpected error,” shows up.
Love your writing… test-commenting.
We all need magical hope. Lovely. Thanks, Denise.
I completely agree, Staci 🙂
Nice blending of words and graphic.
Thank you, Craig 🙂
I love that! Magical hope…they are words I cling to! Great job, Denise!
Thank you, Jan 🙂 I cling to the same thing.
Thank you for hosting Mae today, Denise. Best wishes to Mae.
This poem is very vivid, Denise.
Thank you, Robbie 🙂
If I hadn’t seen the photo, I would still have that exact image from your poem. Well done, Denise.
Thank you, Mark 🙂 That’s quite a compliment.
What a lovely, uplifting poem, Denise. I can see your words in my mind’s eye! Great imagery. <3
