Hi! Here is Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge #236. It is a theme prompt and the word given is, Expedition.
I went with an inner journey and presented it in Tanka form. I liked adding it to a picture I took when we visited the redwoods last month.
Here’s Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge #234. This week is Synonyms Only and the two words are “Green & Morass.”
Although we are now offered more symbolic poetry choices, I went with a favorite format Haiga. This is a combination of a picture and Haiku or Senryu, but the poem can stand alone without the photo.
My synonyms are: naive for green & confusion for morass.
Here’s Colleen Chesebro Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge #228. This week is the poet’s choice.
I decided to use one of the poems I wrote on the back of a Harley last weekend, along with a picture I took. No pens lost during this process. Here is my Haiga.

triggers imagination
childhood in the sky
Here’s Colleen Chesbro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge #224. This week is the poet’s choice!
I decided on a butterfly cinquain: 2/4/6/8/2/8/6/4/2 and used a picture I took walking along the river for the visual.
INSPIRATION
The path
Becomes my guide
Awakening senses
Dazzling me with its beauty
Magic
The moment caresses my soul
Thoughts flow with the river
Words are blooming
I write.
