Photo prompt for tanka tuesday.
softness and purpose of the moment
hanging in there and be present
don’t let the load of your thoughts
bring you down to the ground
eventually
they will take you
to a right
precious
place
hanging in there
a dream
First time joining WDYS – What do you see challenge from Sadje. I’m joining with a free poetry form. This photo is so exquisite and I couldn’t resist when I saw it on my feed. The words just needed to be written. Hope you enjoy!
the bride thought it better the forest, the moss the songs exhaling from the trees the birds and the butterflies too late for the groom only the veil lays on the stream following the flow of a dream
lune
shades of gloom
just another night
in between
i’m trying lune poetry form for tanka tuesday this week. lune has 11 syllables in 3 lines (3-5-3). it’s named lune because has the shape of a crescent moon.
the moons of autumn
the moons of autumn was released oct 1st and i’ve 2 poems published in there! it’s wonderful to be featured in the company of many other poets. Colleen and Jules have done an awesome job of selecting the poems. i’m proud my poems were chosen! the poems capture the magical essence of the moon and i felt calm reading them.
the theme for tanka tuesday this week is poet’s choice, so i’m sharing one of my published poems in this book. hope you enjoy!
secrets
a field of wishes scattered, pieces of a dream hunting the magic wind is blowing illusion secrets of the harvest moon
how many times do we wish that illusions turn into reality? we are lost in a field waiting for the magic. it was nice to write this poem last evening. the words came out without much thinking, and I understood that I’m waiting too much.
Sharing with tanka tuesday. this week’s theme is harvest moon.
hello
hello! how are you doing? i missed this space. i hope you enjoyed the rest of summer/winter and are ready for the new season. autumn for me. i love all the colours and freshness that comes with it. the sweaters and boots, scarfs, flannel pjs. i’m craving for all the pumpkin spice flavours and fragrances: pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin loaf, pumpkin muffins…., and the pumpkin candles to warm up my kitchen, although i love apple cinnamon candles this time of the year.
summer was lovely. i went to the north part of my province for a few days. a beautiful place with lakes and mountains. lots of kayaking and hiking. i read many books and wrote many pages. the leisure of a summer afternoon in my garden was wonderful. now, i’m sitting here typing these few words for you thinking about the past, wondering about the future, and trying to be present. i’ve a cup of coffee by my side, the morning freshness knocking on my window, a new day ahead.
hope you are doing ok and ready for the new season. enjoy the tiny moments, they are the ones that matter most and the ones that will be our company in difficult days.

Delight
Tanka Tuesday: “This challenge explores Ekphrastic writing inspired by visual art (photographs). Cheryl, from last month’s challenge, provided the photo for this month’s challenge.” Colleen Chesebro
This photo reminds me of a cottage up north Canada where we spent a few day a while back. The place was pure cosiness. The sky was pretty and the fragrance coming out from the fireplace was intoxicant.
the wine is ready the sky is the performer cozy white blanket red oak is softly singing the evening is a delight
Petals
layers treasured by seven locker charms the hidden innocence a sacred space deeply blaring each petal whispering for help obeying no set rules the poisoned thorns borders
This week’s prompt for Tanka Tuesday is synonyms only, and the words are sanctuary and follow. I’ve chosen sacred and obeying for my poem. I’m trying new syllabic forms and today I have Cinquo poem. This form consists of 5 lines: 2, 8, 6, 4, 2 and the poem should be unrhymed. I decided to write a double cinquo since I had too much to say.
The photo was taken with my Nikon. I rarely used it, but I thought this pretty rose deserved it. I’m sharing with FOTD.
Have a great weekend!
Water
Many years ago from the window of an airplane I saw a river with crystal blue water and I thought: This place will be my home.
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It’s always our self we find in the sea.
e.e. cummings
Now, as I write this post in my living room, I can listen to the waves and hear the engine of a ship passing by. My home is a few steps from this magnificent river. Every morning I walk/run by its side, feeling its power and energy, flowing with it.
We had rain and thunders during the night. The water was showing all its power. It was washing and cleaning, it filled up the rivers and lakes. Earth’s fragrance is freshness.
A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, living part of the very earth itself.
Laura Gilpin
Water is magical in all its forms. From Inside a cup ready to hydrate us to the large oceans harbouring fish and others sea creatures. From the tap in our homes to wash our hands to the salt water washing the shore of islands.
Be like water,
Flow like a river,
Crash like the rain,
Fly like the cloud again!

Sharing with WQWWC. The theme this week is Lakes, Oceans, Water
Summertime
bare feet in the grass fresh flowers in abundance summertime pleasures thoughts flowing on the pages delight under the sunshine
Sharing with Tanka Tuesday and WQWWC, both are writer’s/poet’s choice this week, so summertime it is.
When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.
