This my entry for Colleen Chesebro of The Fairy Whisper Tuesday Tanka.
The words we have to use snynomymosly are Grow and Honour .
With Geoff at Tangental being full of weddings old and new, Colleen’s prompt put me in mind of my wedding day. I hope this is what my Dad felt as he gave me away.
A FOB Tanka.
Heart swelling with pride
All grown up and amazing
A beautiful bride
Proud to walk her down ailse
She’s blossomed look at her smile.
******************
A FOB Senryu
As a child blossoms
To watch was your privilege
Your heart fit to burst.

OK, Willow… what’s “FOB?” I would say your last poem is a Senryu because it is more about a personal event. I always think of Haiku as related to nature or change. I think you captured those precious moments you shared with your father very well, indeed. Gorgeous pictures! ❤

FOB is ‘father of the bride ‘ as opposed to FOG ‘father of the groom’ You are right the poem is not a Haiku, I shall change it to a Senryu. I am glad you like the photos they are from 1971!! 💜💜

LOL! I feel so silly… I don’t think I ever heard it abbreviated. LOL! I still double check the difference between a Haiku and Senryu. ❤
