Word Craft Poerty’s #TankaTuesday Weekly #Poetry Challenge 5/9/2023
Colleen M. Chesebro has a weekly tanka challenge on her website Word Craft Poetry. This week’s challenge is to write a tanka to go with the lovely photo above by Terri Webster Schrandt. Every time I do this challenge, I have to use Colleen’s cheat sheet or her book
Word Craft: Prose & Poetry The Art of Crafting Syllabic Poetry.
I love writing poetry, but freestyle is my favorite. Syllabic poetry has always been somewhat of a challenge for me. But, I love a challenge. So here we go.

Ah… I can relate… I have a little creek that borders my back yard. 🙂
Wow! I want that river to talk to me!
A very peaceful atmosphere you’ve created in your tanka.
Brenda, this is a lovely tanka poem! I love the river whispering songs to the flowers! 💜
Thank-you
You’re welcome. I was thrilled you were here!
A lovely Tanka 💜
Lovely, Brenda. 💜
Thank-you
Thank-you
I love your words. Mine connect very much with them, and I didn’t read your poem until after writing mine.✨
It amazes when our hearts see things through the same lens.
Yes, it is amazing isn’t it!
I love this, Brenda! I love the idea of the river whispering to the flowers. So pretty!
