#TANKATUESDAY Weekly #POETRYCHALLENGE #255 @SyllabicPoetry @ColleenChesebro #TasteTheRainbow #Tanka

Hi everyone! Happy New Year! 🙂

Today, I’ve joined Colleen’s weekly TankaTuesday challenge, which asks for a Syllabic poem of the author’s choice, featuring a colour.

You can find Colleen’s post HERE.

Rainbow and clouds above bird. Taste the rainbow logo

I’ve chosen a Senryu in three lines of 3-5-3 syllables.

 

vivid red

from embarrassment

wardrobe fail

 

I hope you enjoyed this short verse on the awkward moments of life 🙂

  1. You’re not alone. I’ll hold your hand and sponge in some of your embarrassment. I’ve been there… Brush it off, the blush comes from the color, no? Yes! Lovely, Harmony. Thanks for sharing.

    • Brush it off! Love it. Thanks, Selma. And hand holding is always welcome 💕🙂

    • Amazing how many decades those blushes can last for! Happy to have made you laugh. Thanks, Diana 💕🙂

  2. Happy New Year, Harmony! This is the perfect (and brilliant senryu)! I like how you left what happened to the imagination. Well done! <3

  3. Been there, done that, lol. Thanks for the awkward memory, Harmony 🙂

  4. This reminds me of a certain Superbowl game here a few years back when Janet Jackson had what they called a ‘wardrobe misfunction’ 😉

    • I’m so chuffed that everyone’s enjoying this poem! Thanks, Mae 💕🙂

  5. Perfect, Harmony. I’ve got all kinds of smiles. Excellent take on the prompt! 😃

  6. I love it, Harmony! It’s lighthearted and relatable. I’ve certainly been there.

    • I had an epic moment years ago as a student nurse. It was pretty public, lols. Thanks, Jan 💕🙂
