#TANKATUESDAY Weekly #POETRYCHALLENGE #259 @SyllabicPoetry @ColleenChesebro #Colour #TasteTheRainbow #Diatelle
Hi everyone! 🙂
Today, I’ve joined Colleen’s weekly TankaTuesday challenge, which asks for poem based on colour. I’ve written a Diatelle, which has fifteen lines in the following syllable count … 1-2-3-4-6-8-10-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1, and a rhyme rhythm of abbcbccaccbcbba.
You can find Colleen’s post HERE.
Entitled: Rueful
blue
affect
heart is wrecked
what to live for?
I ask in retrospect
wild waves carried me far from shore
what is it about me you so abhor?
I failed to achieve analytical review
the lost relationship like a swing door
was life with me such a sore chore?
silly me to expect
kindness or more
I’d not checked
you’d kept
true
I hope you enjoyed this Diatelle. This is the first time I’ve explored this poetic, syllabic form.
Have a lovely day! 🙂

Wow! This is a powerful poem, Harmony. You did so well with this form. The rhyming still gives me fits sometimes. LOL! You handled it with no trouble. <3
Yay! Thanks so much, Colleen 💕🙂
That’s a new form for me. I really like it, and I enjoyed your poem very much. Great job!
That’s great. Thanks, Staci 💕🙂
Incredible poem, Harmony. Its depth was even more profound when I read it aloud the second time. Amazing! 💗
Fantastic. Thanks so much, Gwen 💕🙂
That was great, Harmony! I don’t think I’m ready for something so complex, but it’s definitely going on my list of forms to try in the future. 🙂
Fantastic. Thanks, Yvi 💕🙂
It’s a new form for me. I enjoyed your poem. It has lovely rhythm. Great work, dear Harmony 💕
Thanks so much, Jane! 💕🙂
Hi Harmony, beautiful poem! I like the ‘wild waves carry me far from the shore’ yes! the sound of the waves takes my mind far away to places I miss so much!
Fantastic. Thanks, Elizabeth 💕🙂
A great job with the poetic form and the prompt, Harmony.
Thanks so much, Robbie 💕🙂
I’ve only tried this once, I’m so impressed with what you came up with Harmony. It flowed like the ocean. xo
Wow! Thanks so much, Denise 💕🙂
Wow, Harmony – I love this. It’s almost like a rap! So well done! I hope you’re feeling okay…

Fantastic! I can really see the rap in your quote! Thanks, David. I’m doing well, thanks for checking! 💕🙂
Wow! I’m impressed. I couldn’t keep track of the syllables, much less the writing pattern. You did a fantastic job!
Yay! Thanks so much, Joan 💕🙂
What a cool poetic form. I read it twice, once for the form, once for the emotional color-poem!
Awesome. Thanks so much, Priscilla 💕🙂
Enjoyed the form AND the poetic way you crafted it! Well done, Harmony.
Thanks so much, Annette. That’s fantastic 💕🙂
It was a good form and poem, Harmony. Clearly, you enjoyed composing it.
I had fun with this one! And a tough time keeping track of the rhyme sequence 😂 Thanks, John 💕🙂
Beautiful, Harmony! Before, i always thought words with -elle at the end are representing some kind of pasta. Lol xx Michael
Lols 😂 They sure could! So glad you enjoyed the poem. Thanks, Michael 💕🙂
I hope she finds a way to move on!
For certain! Thanks, Kerfe 💕🙂
