Colleen’s Weekly Tuesday Tanka. 7/Jan/20

It’s the first of the month here at Colleen’s Tuesday Tanka and you know what that means! Poets, choose your own syllabic poetry form, theme, words, images, etc. It’s up to you!

Brave Start.

Bare almost extinct

Tired, at the old year’s ending.

In hibernation

Nature’s spring hope’s eternal

Laying a trail…

Dreams can come true.

I pulled the camper-van into the parking spot and woke my companion. While he set about making coffee in the snazzy little kitchen, I rummaged in the storage compartment for the tool kit and another sign.
