Today’s tanka is based on a poem that is close to my heart: Epitaph

The birds on my grave
Are possessed by the poems
Myriad stories
Ballads lost to hurried days
Forever buried with me

A tender night weaves,
Sapphire fantasy figments
Argent light slivers
An indigo canopy
In sparkly specter emerges

Chaos

Sunset Tides” Acrylic on canvas by Shruti Pancholi

#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 15

Wrapped up in tempests
Glitter hues of golden rays
On troubled waters
Transient moments of delight
Washed away by raucous tides

Sleepless

Insomnia – Oil on Canvas by Joanna Aslanian

#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 14

Breathless whispers, now
Fade to murmurs; white noise
Sleep eludes again
Insomnia’s lonely ache
Embraced by crochet afghans.

Nostalgia


#NaPoWriMo
#GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 13

Yonder hills touch gently
Zephyr of forgotten days
Pine-filled aroma
From cottages, musky and old
Reminds of stories once told
