Hi here we are the second Colleen’s Tuesday Tanka Challenge of 2020.
Today’s prompt is Calm and Present. The trick is we can only use synonyms . This week I have done an old style Haiku.💜
All still and pleasant
My mind is empty, peaceful
Time stops in the now.

Well done, Willow. I’ll rework your Haiku in the shorter form 3/5/3 here:
Silence stills
busy thoughts quiet
in the now
(silence for calm, and in the now for present). The brevity and simple words also make this a powerful Haiku. Don’t be afraid to experiment. We’re all friends and learning together. ❤
