WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!

Kerfe chose this week’s words. Remember, you can’t use the words. Instead, you must find synonyms to use in their place.
Transition & Harmony
This week for Colleen’s Tuesday Tanka I have chosen to do a Gogyohka. It’s about confusing information, a huge part of our lives right now.

Muddled meanings, words unclear
Won’t bring us together here
Our enemy still lingers watching us
In this time of change, fear separates
Borders hastily drawn, no reunions yet.

Absolutely apt words for fight now!!!

I love the political sides of this. While it can obviously be about Covid, it reminds me of the Mexican border situation and the splitting of families, too. Well done!

Thank you, I was so upset by Boris’s darn waffle! Yes having read it could apply to many many things. I know we should not show our political feelings on our blogs especially Colleen’s but I had to have a virtual tantrum. Thank you 💜

I think poetry is often naturally political, as they hold stories (even ic in the background) with lots of feeling from tone. I dunno, maybe I just read too much into things.
May 12, 2020 @ 11:45:32
No you didn’t, I feel very strongly about this one! 💜
May 12, 2020 @ 14:55:56
Well done. The times are beyond confusing right now.

Oh! God, they are 💜

Well I still can’t share to FB. Ha… I’ve got you covered. ❤
May 12, 2020 @ 20:45:07
Colleen, do you mean you can’t share my work or has Facebook banned you….they still don’t like me 😖💜
May 12, 2020 @ 20:47:16
I can’t share anything from your blog. So, I copied your poem, added a copyright and pasted into a post on my page. I shared it that way. They wouldn’t let me tag you or even add the link to your post. I still dislike FB. Why they would ban you is crazy. Annette Rochelle Aben said they banned her too.

Colleen I have been banned twice, I really don’t understand it. Perhaps someone dislikes my poetry and reports me, I just don’t know. I have not got the energy to fight Facebook this time. I have never written anything nasty or visious in my life. I just don’t understand it. Thank you for getting round it 😊😘 💜
May 13, 2020 @ 12:22:31
I know my friend. It’s beyond me. If I get banned, I’ll be done with FB for sure. ❤️
May 13, 2020 @ 12:27:52
I really should give up myself💜
May 13, 2020 @ 12:52:26
It’s so frustrating. 😭❤️
May 13, 2020 @ 14:15:43
It is 💜💜
May 13, 2020 @ 05:20:58
By the way I looked on your page on Facebook, where or when did you post my poem because I think it’s been removed? Facebook doesn’t like me 🥺💜💜💜
May 13, 2020 @ 12:21:17
I copied and pasted it, Willow. No link backs. It’s there on my page: Colleen M. Chesebro ❤️
May 13, 2020 @ 13:27:35
A sentiment we all share
stay well and laugh when you can
May 13, 2020 @ 14:14:36
Thank you I dare say it’s as bad where you are 💜
May 13, 2020 @ 14:27:17
Oh Yes Maybe worse
May 16, 2020 @ 15:41:27
A lovely depth in this
May 16, 2020 @ 14:26:54
Thank you
May 17, 2020 @ 05:23:00
I agree about Boris. Stay alert! Idiot what does that even mean? Cross the road carefully?
May 17, 2020 @ 07:26:56
Probably 🥺??
