WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!
It’s the third week of the month! Time for a #PhotoPrompt
Aishwarya, aka, Kitty from Kitty’s Verses, was Colleen’s selection from last month’s challenge. So Kitty has provided the photo for this month’s challenge. Colleen says “Remember, don’t just describe what is in the photo. Engage your senses and work with implied metaphors to make your poetry sing!”
This week I have written a two versed Shadorma about life choices. The railway track disapearing into the distance makes me think of the straight and narrow.
Look forward
Leave what’s behind you
The line leads
Direction
As sure as night follows day
One step at a time.
Like a train
Forward momentum
Rolling on
Growing strong
Straight ahead into the light
One step at a time .

Thank you so much Crystal, I am so pleased that you like this . It’s not a Tanka though it is a Shadorma.💜

Well done, Willow! I thought of Robert Frost’s poem… “two paths diverged in the woods…” and he took the less traveled path. I really like how this reminded you of the straight and narrow. ❤

You Colleen it did but for some reason the Robert Frost poem did not come to me until I had written the poem 💜

That’s great though. Excellent! ❤️
