I didn’t plan on extra posts during my blog tour, but I couldn’t pass this up. Here’s Colleen Chesebro’s Special Birthday Prompt #TankaTuesday Weekly #Poetry Challenge No. 316. The prompt was: Create a syllabic form with 65 syllables, or a combination of words that amount to 65.
I went with 65 syllables. I combined three senyru 5/7/5 poems with two repeat seven-syllable lines that connected them. I used a “birth” and “faerie” theme 🙂 Title not included in count.
CELEBRATION
dazzling sage eyes
captivating windswept smile
loving elation
forest faeries celebrate
magical moment
nestled amongst mighty redwoods
under the mushrooms
forest faeries celebrate
food, presents, balloons…
welcome the baby princess’
first enchanted breath
