Tanka Tuesday

This week’s challenge from Colleen is ‘Synonyms Only’, she asks we select synonyms for the words spring & green https://wordcraftpoetry.com/2023/03/14/tankatuesday-weekly-syllabic-poetry-challenge-no-311-3-14-23/ I’m a bit late as it’s Thursday, but I’ve have chosen what I hope is a senryu format 🙂

Tanka Tuesday Prompt

For this week’s Tanka Tuesday, Colleen Chesebro encourages us to try writing senryū poetry, a Japanese form similar to haiku: three lines with a short-long-short syllable count up to 17 syllables. It’s a poem with the ‘human’ at its centre as opposed to nature. Thanks for looking ❤
