WELCOME TO #TANKATUESDAY!
Diana Peach selected the image for this week’s photo prompt. It’s an image from Pixabay.com, compliments of “Pretty sleepy.”
Colleen says, “Remember, we can see what’s in the image, so write your poem using the image as an inspiration. Don’t just describe what you see in the image. Use your imagination. Open your third eye and see what’s behind the red door! Think about metaphor and allegory. Just remember to check what form you’re using. Some of the Japanese forms frown upon the use of metaphors.”
I have chosen an Etheree , a single one as I believe time is a thief and we are it’s slaves so this is a tale of one half. Yet you can read it from top to bottom or bottom to top.
Portal
So philosopher of many colours
We are your slaves, and so, bound to you.
Yes master of theft you steal time.
We stand outside the portal
Imagining what lies
Beyond the red doors
A Universe?
A planet?
Nothing?
Void?

Very nice, Willow! I like where the image led you. ❤

Such an amazing image don’t you think 💜

Yes. I have so much to think about. There are so many possibilities. 😀 ❤
Feb 15, 2022 @ 20:44:45
It’s perfect 💜
Feb 16, 2022 @ 07:32:18
Very clever. I’m normally left rather cold with syllabic poetry as a form but you nailed this one.
Feb 16, 2022 @ 09:25:12
Thank you Geoff, once it a while it all gels. It really helped that the image absolutely screamed meaning.
Feb 16, 2022 @ 23:22:38
Wonderful, Willow. I love where you went with this, and you used the form effortlessly.
Feb 17, 2022 @ 12:46:43
Thank you so much for reading 💜
Feb 17, 2022 @ 12:47:33
I really just let this one write itself the prompt photo was so perfect.💜
Feb 17, 2022 @ 13:02:25
I can tell. It seemed effortless. I picked the prompt, but I’m having a hard time writing for it! LOL. I’m still unsatisfied, but will get it posted eventually.
Feb 17, 2022 @ 21:23:29
I know you gave us the prompt and that you so much for that. I love it, don’t you find if you supply the prompt it’s always the hardest 💜💜
Feb 18, 2022 @ 12:37:10
Ha ha. Yes! But so fun seeing all the different responses. So much talent!

Feb 18, 2022 @ 13:06:58
I couldn’t agree more!
Feb 18, 2022 @ 15:14:40
Indeed 💜💜💜
Feb 18, 2022 @ 01:44:53
Ooh! Something is coming!
By the way, Willow, I got your poetry submission but didn’t realize there’s no poem. The form must have malfunctioned somehow. I hope you have it saved somewhere because I would love to include it in the ‘contest.’
Feb 18, 2022 @ 12:48:56
Which poem , what was the subject? Sorry not having a good week here ! 💜💜💜
Feb 18, 2022 @ 19:15:06
I got an email for the Terrible Poetry Contest, but there was no poem. It was blank.
Feb 18, 2022 @ 19:59:39
Oh sorry was it this weeks because I have not done one this week because it’s been so awful here 💜
Feb 18, 2022 @ 20:01:54
That’s okay. Hopefully you just accidentally clicked the form without sending one.
Feb 18, 2022 @ 22:33:21
I think that’s what I must of done sending love 💜
Feb 18, 2022 @ 05:48:18
