#TANKATUESDAY Weekly #POETRYCHALLENGE #259 @SyllabicPoetry @ColleenChesebro #Colour #TasteTheRainbow #Diatelle
Hi everyone! π
Today, Iβve joined Colleenβs weekly TankaTuesday challenge, which asks for poem based on colour. Iβve written a Diatelle, whichΒ has fifteen lines in the following syllable count β¦ 1-2-3-4-6-8-10-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1, and a rhyme rhythm of abbcbccaccbcbba.
You can find Colleenβs 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
Iβd not checked
youβd keptΒ
true
I hope you enjoyed this Diatelle. This is the first time Iβve explored this poetic, syllabic form.
Have a lovely day! π

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 ππ

Incredible poem, Harmony. Its depth was even more profound when I read it aloud the second time. Amazing! π
Fantastic. Thanks so much, Gwen ππ
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. π
Fantastic. Thanks, Yvi ππ
It’s a new form for me. I enjoyed your poem. It has lovely rhythm. Great work, dear Harmony π

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 ππ
A great job with the poetic form and the prompt, Harmony.

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 ππ

Fantastic! I can really see the rap in your quote! Thanks, David. Iβm doing well, thanks for checking! ππ
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 ππ
What a cool poetic form. I read it twice, once for the form, once for the emotional color-poem!
Awesome. Thanks so much, Priscilla ππ
Enjoyed the form AND the poetic way you crafted it! Well done, Harmony.

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 π Thanks, John ππ
Beautiful, Harmony! Before, i always thought words with -elle at the end are representing some kind of pasta. Lol xx Michael
