WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!
It’s the fourth week of the month which means I’ll pick a theme for you to write about for this month. On the Monday before the next challenge, I’ll select someone to choose next month’s theme.
This month’s theme is: “The Circle of Life”
I have done two sets of Haiku. In syllables of, 5/7/5, 3/5/3 and 2/3/2. One set on human life and the other set on nature.
Of the womb we are born
We flourish and grow full bloom
Then we turn to multch
*******
Born from womb
Encompassing life
All things die
*******
We’re born
Then we grow
We die
********
Seeds germinate life
Blossoms germinate full bloom
Life drains down through roots
********
Blossom grows
From seed and life roots
Cycle ends.
*******
Blooms
Petals spread
Then sleep
*******

Reblogged this on Where Genres Collide Traci Kenworth YA Author & Book Blogger and commented:
Wasn’t sure what the theme “The Circle of Life” was about until I read Willow’s. It’s just what it says it is.

I couldn’t wrap my brain around the concept till I studied some of the contributions already done then it was like, just what is says! I have to work on my contribution today.

Reminds me of Venn Diagrams in a way – everything overlaps. 🙂
