Hi, Colleen for Tanka Tuesday this week has asked that we use the above beautiful painting by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, as our inspiration for our ekphrastic verse. We are to write either a syllabic poetry form or a freestyle poem, and include a syllabic form (both on the same post) https://wordcraftpoetry.com/2023/05/02/tankatuesday-ekphrastic-poetry-challenge-no-318/#comment-123607
I have chosen a free style and a Katauta (a three-line poem, 5/7/7 addressing to a lover,) thanks for looking 😊

my heart deafens me”

I enjoyed listening to her innermost thoughts in the first poem and how you distilled that feeling in the katauta.

So well written! Of course when I first glanced at the painting my thought was that she needs to put the smart phone away!

I know it does look like a phone – she could be a time traveller! 😊
