WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
It’s the fourth week of the month! Are you ready for a theme prompt? Marsha Ingrao from last month’s challenge picked the theme.
This month’s theme is:
This week I have written a Tanka and a short Haiku . To express how humans have this illusion of power, over Mother Nature who laughs at us.
We feel we control
The outcome of life and fate.
Sadly deluded
Gaia sighs and laughes at us
She holds sway above us all.
We’re in charge?
Gaia laughs at us
We haven’t a clue

I love your combination of Tanka and Haiku, and I’m here having a look, I think Jez has done us a big favour… Cheers Ivor..

Poetry is a great joiner, and wordpress is a perfect platform to meet poets and storytellers to share the journey.

Indeed so, I’ve been on WP just over 3 years, and it’s been an enlightening experience for me…

I have been her nine years now and yes it’s one of my better decisions in life.

Yes It’s been a thoroughly enjoyable addition to my little writing career, and I’ve made many new friends here…

Willow, you are so spot on with your poetry this week. As humans, we are so weak. ❤
Nov 01, 2020 @ 22:30:01
We are all sadly clinging on to the hope that we are in charge…. We are not 💜
Nov 02, 2020 @ 00:30:07
So true. I can only control me. ❤️
Nov 02, 2020 @ 06:25:23
