Tanka Tuesday – Lone

On September 15, 2020 By ElizabethIn Poetry

Image credit: Unsplash, and the photographer is Wolfgang Hasselmann

Being carried away by longing
Blending among the canopy
Wondering and wandering
Sensing forgotten paths
Into the forest
Braids and branches
Turning one
Single
Gleam

Today’s prompt for Tanka Tuesday is a photo prompt. The photo should be able to inspire you to write a poem. That single mushroom in this photo evoked me a feeling of loneness. I’m sharing it using Nonet as the poetry form.
