I’m back

Greetings folks!

It’s been a very long time since my last post. Life has been busy, but I felt the urge again to dive into the pool.

I figured I would start with one of my favorite challenges – #TankaTuesday. This week’s challenge is to pick a moment in your day and describe literally or abstractly how I feel about it, and how it affects me.

This form of poetry is tricube. It’s a three-line, three-stanza poem where each line contains exactly three syllables.

So here it goes…


A spring evening in Michigan

Soft breeze blows
At once warm
now to cool

Distant owl
hoots to mate
Fly with me!

The sun dips
velvet skies
settle in


Thanks for reading!

Tater Tot

      Its good to be back. 🙂 I’m going to make an effort to at least do this challenge every week. I was having so much fun when I started, but life got in the way. I’m sure that happens to the best of us.

      Aww, tuxedo cats are the best. Tater Tot is a very charming boy, but you have to watch him because he likes to show affection back, but doesn’t realize the length or sharpness of his claws! He has very impressive murder mittens.

        😂. I love that expression “impressive murder mittens” you must use that in a poem!

        I will definitely have to! Seven syllables so it has the second line of a haiku written all over it. 😉
