these gorgeous white flowers called my attention yesterday, maybe a sign from nature? i looked up for their symbolism:
White flower symbolism includes purity, innocence, faith, spiritual enlightenment, and messages from angels. Uniguide.com
i’ve been walking in a rough path recently. purity and innocence can explain a lot to me right now, and maybe i’ll forgive myself.

Consumed by the flames The silent cry of the soul The mistakes lay on each feather Now burning without care From the ashes Washed from the sins Little by little The sun is rising A display of orange and energy Bringing life to a start
consumed by the flames the silent cry of the soul a breath of the dawn
Wandering in the forest, Immersed in a fairy tale She doesn’t know Her destiny is traced In the hands of the unknown He waits with flowers A trap The knife is hidden He counts the seconds The jump A sharp blade Ending the dreams
each tiny step counts the soul is about to fly a fairy tale ends

Tanka Tuesday this week is in commemoration of Colleen’s 65th birthday. She asked us to write our own poetry form using 65 syllables. The form I created contains 3 stanzas: the first and second 6-5-6-5 and the third one 6-5-5-5. I’m naming it Boomer!
The tulips are for Colleen! Happy Birthday!

Tanka Tuesday this week explores Ekphrastic poetry, inspired by works of art.
This is an impressive portrait, the lady exhales confidence. The eyes and the colour purple called my attention. Purple colour expresses luxury, power, and independence. She seems content but at the same time, I see hate in her eyes.
