Hi everyone it is Tuesday and time for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday. This week I am going to answer Colleen’s challenge to try a new disapline. I am going to attempt a Sedoka. What is a Sedoka?
Ken, from Rivrvlogr shares a Sedoka, which is an unrhymed poem composed of two katauta. A katauta is able to standalone, with three lines and a syllable pattern of 5-7-7. A Sedoka therefore has the syllable count: 5-7-7, 5-7-7. Each katauta must be able to be read independently, but also create a cohesive singular work in the Sedoka.
Today’s words are from the lovey Sally Cronin and I must use them synonymously.
Eager and Hope.
Spring seems impatient
Ready to bust and blossom
Full of anticipation
Winter’s not done yet.
White her icy cloak folded
Any second to unfurl

What a lovely Sedoka, Willow. You left me with some peaceful images in my head. It’s warm here today— 64 F. if you can believe that. All the snow is about melted and I can feel spring. ❤

I really made an effort, today our weather is lovely but tomorrow the temperature will drop and the rain is coming 💜

You did wonderful, Willow! ❤ The rain is coming for us on Thursday. I'm ready… All those showers bring flowers. 😀

While we still have a few patches of snow, today was very much an introduction to spring up almost in the 70’s!! Saw a yard filled with snowdrops 😀
