Tanka Tuesday prompt is the above photo referring to the Phoenix mythology.
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
the simplicity absorbed in a split moment not much is needed little sunshine and sprinkle the pure joy of just being

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!
searching magical wings wandering without zeal reaching the top and looking down weakness I'm powerless against the will random resolution time to renew deep breath
As the first tulips start to bloom in my garden, I know it’s time to renew, to make changes, to let go of things that aren’t worth keeping and welcome the new, the possibilities, to make decisions, not always the best ones, but the ones that my body and mind are craving.
Tanka Tuesday this week is about Easter, with a flower image as inspiration. I’ve chosen a butterfly cinquain as a form for my poem, nothing better than a butterfly to remind us of rebirth, renewal, and transformation.
spring brings rain a smile on my face renewed wings flip-flops on no clouds will destroy the joy fly over the pond
This week Tanka Tuesday asks us to write a Shadorma (3-5-3-3-7-5 syllables) using a few specific words. I’ve chosen smile, clouds, spring and wings.
outside my window the time stops, as a painting majestic bare trees under the golden sunshine a bunny hops without care
