WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!
Happy 5th Birthday Tanka Tuesday! 💜🌟
It’s the fourth week of the month! Are you ready for a theme prompt? Eugi (Franci Hoffman) from last month’s challenge picked the theme: This month’s theme is:
The Harvest Moon
Caught
Like a
Startled cat
Quite bedazzled
Trapped in silver moonbeams
I am bewitched and bewildered
So entranced by the beauty I near swoon.
A huge silver sphere shedding magic, harvest moon.
These Autumn nights are full of witches flights
Ghosts and ghouls play us for such fools.
Please shine harvest moon on us
In your magic
Powers we
Surely
Trust.
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕.
I wanted to do a Diatelle, but the rhyming rules would not let express myself as I had hoped, so I wrote a free verse Diatelle. I hope that is okay. A true Diatelle runs with syllables of 1/2/3/4/6/8/10/12/10/8/6/4/3/2/1 and a rhyming scheme of abbcbccaccbcbba.

Sometimes the words and rhyme come out and you just have to express yourself the best you can. The good part is you know how to write the form correctly. Experimentation is good. I think it makes us appreciate the rhythm the muse sends us. ❤

I agree Colleen and sometimes, not always, rules are there to break 💜💜

Oh yes… that is where the genius part comes in. Creativity must blossom. ❤

“That sweet moon language.” A line from one of my favorite poems by Hafiz. 🥰

Lovely 🌹

It’s okay by me. When the poetic muse zaps me, I am usually free verse. I can manage a shardoma, but that’s about as adventurous as I go. I loved the poem and the image. You captured the harvest moon in words and pictures.
