#TANKATUESDAY Weekly #POETRYCHALLENGE #279 #TasteTheRainbow #weather @ColleenChesebro #TankaProse
Hi everyone! 🙂
Today, I’ve joined Colleen’s weekly TankaTuesday challenge, which asks for us to create a syllabic poem based on ‘Taste the Rainbow’ and ‘Weather’.
You can find Colleen’s post HERE.
I have chosen a Senryu verse with a difference. I wanted to experiment with splitting each line in half … one more human and in the style of Senryu, and the other half more of nature and in the style of Haiku. Try reading the first half only, then the second half only, and also reading each line backward, before putting it all together.
Colour of bruises—grim clouds
Tears pour—summer rain
Smile heals hurt—jaded sunshine
I hope you enjoyed today’s poetry. Have a lovely day! 🙂

Reminds me of the physical (that you can see) and the emotional (which you can’t see) bruises… Life is full of them.
