This is my entry for Colleen Chesebro, the Fairy Whisper’s Tuesday Tanka Challenge.

This week I did a Cinquain.

Downward

We two decsend

Dropping dreams dashed we’re smashed

I endeavour to spread my wings

No hope.

A sad lament for our state of affairs in the world today. I’m sending you huge hugs, Willow. ❤

Lovely…
Why did I think a tanka was 5, 7, 5, 7, 7 ?
Are there variations that are allowed? As you can see, I’ve no clue!

  You are correct that is a Tanka , on Colleen’s prompt you can use , Haiku, Tanka, Haibun, Cinquain ..I did a cinquain which has 2,4,6,8,2 sylables. I forgot to say it was a Cinquain..
  Gosh I am not doing very well today to be honest I am so tired. 💜💜 Thank you again.💜

I saw hunger in Africa and Asia. Photo should make people understand. Real war is forgotten. The war to feed a hungry world. Powerful and worthwhile words shared my friend.
