I have chosen to continue my theme from Mondays Haiku Challenge. I actually did a Tanka.

The tree is old, it’s dying now
A cancer has eaten it’s soul.
T’is hollow now where once t’was whole.
Rotting fruit withers on the bough.
Wasps, invited to death’s feast, row
Over sweet rotting apple core
They feast and gorge demanding more.
This is the circle of all strife
Just one pip needs to seed for life
Then appple trees will grow once more.

This is a very cool poem. The picture fits so well. Lovely!

Thank you Marsha, the décima is a hard form of poem but I do like doing them 💜

It looks like 8 syllables each line and 10 lines. Form poetry is hard to pull in emotions, vivid word choices and keep to the form. I applaud you, once again for achieving all three qualities.

Do we ever know how good our own stuff is? I think there are two measures: do we like it – after a while, and do others like it. If both work, then I think we can safely say that something is good. 🙂

That’s a great way to see if things measure up 💜
Aug 12, 2021 @ 23:27:59
I thought so. Should I market it?
Aug 13, 2021 @ 05:21:05
Yes I think you could make a fortune ☺️💜

LOL. Let’s go into business together, then since it was really both of our ideas! 🙂

You are so cute. I love the word sorted.
