#TANKATUESDAY Weekly #POETRYCHALLENGE #256 @SyllabicPoetry @ColleenChesebro #SpecificForm #Haiku
Hi everyone! 🙂
Today, I’ve joined Colleen’s weekly TankaTuesday challenge, which asks for a Haiku. I’ve used sunshine as my Kigo, as it can appear in any season.
You can find Colleen’s post HERE.
I’ve chosen a Haiku in three lines of 2-3-2 syllables.
sunshine
a fool’s gold?
deep chill
I hope you enjoyed this short verse on how sunshine can fool us into thinking it’s warm when it’s something else, brrr 🥶 🙂

Beautiful haiku with so much in it.
Thanks so much, Jude 💕🙂
Gorgeous haiku.
Thanks so much! 💕🙂
Oh yes. Oooooh yes! Lovely.
Thanks, Selma! 💕🙂
So aptly summed up!
Winter chill that always bites!
Yes! Thanks so much 💕🙂
The winter sun can be deceptive.
For some reason, my comments on my tablet keep being rejected…hopefully this works!
Sorry you had problems. A lot of comments seem to be hitting problems on both WordPress and Blogger. Thanks so much for keeping on trying! 💕🙂
I am so far behind this week, I’m just now reading your poem. Sunshine can be deceptive! Here’s looking to warmer weather.
I second that!
Yep, we can have some very sunny, very cold days in winter. Nicely done.
Thank you, D! 💕🙂
Harmony, this is an excellent haiku. There is a wonderful element of surprise here with sunshine, fool’s gold, and deep chill! I love the way this came together! <3
Fantastic! Thanks so much, Colleen 💕🙂
That’s superb, Harmony!
It speaks perfectly to the weather I’ve been having for the last several days. Brilliant!
Yay! Thanks, Mae 💕🙂
Like this, Harmony 🙂 Yes, had many days like this!
Thanks, Denise 💕🙂
You’re so good at this, Harmony. Just perfect wording. Love. Thanks.
Aww, Selma, that is so sweet of you to say. Thank you! 💕🙂
Great poem, Harmony! That sunshine has tricked me a few times. We don’t get many cold days in South Florida, but when we do, that sun is always shining and playing innocent. Lol! 😉
Yep, it loves playing innocent, lols 😂 Thanks, Yvi 💕🙂
Super poem, Harmony.
Thanks, John! 💕🙂
Wow, Harmony, your poem is stunning. You’ve captured the season in just a couple of well-chosen words. Beautiful!
Yay! Thanks so much, Gwen 💕🙂
This is so true, Harmony. In South Africa, the sun usually shines, but some days have a bitter wind in the winter and it is very cold.
That windchill can be COLD! Thanks, Robbie 💕🙂
Ah, it can seem that way around these parts! I’ll take the sunshine even on the coldest of days. 🙂
Ditto! Thanks, Annette 💕🙂
When the snow is still on the ground… Even with the sun out – I check the outdoor thermostat reading. This morning at 7:30am it was 17F / -8 C. It’s warmed up at 9a to 21F/
-6C.
Hope you’re keeping warm, Jules! 💕🙂
I love the twist in this one, Harmony. Sunshine doesn’t always mean warmth. I won’t mind a little though. Lol <3
It’s our first sunny day in quite some time, lols. Now all I want is a little heat to go with it! Glad you enjoyed it, Diana 💕🙂
A beautiful Haiku, I know exactly what you talking about 💜💜
Thanks so much, Willow 💕🙂
Lovely, Harmony! You nailed this perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
Yay! Thanks, Jan 💕🙂
Nothing like bright sun on a snowy day… to blind you. Great take on the prompt, Harmony. Stay warm!
Lols! For sure. Thanks, Staci 💕🙂
Nice haiku, Harmony! Yeah, those sunny winter days are frigid!
Brrr! 🥶 Thanks, Priscilla 💕🙂
