WELCOME TO #TANKATUESDAY!
短歌 火曜日.
This week’s challenge for Colleen Chesebro’s Tuesday Tanka is 🌈 Color poetry. Let’s work with the color of your choice in a syllabic poem. FOLLOW the instructions below:

You don’t have to write about “magic.” I found this magical color chart on Pinterest and thought it would help to inspire us in creating a piece of poetry.
Instructions:
- From the chart: choose a color and use the color in your syllabic poem.
- Also: Choose ONE word from the descriptions under the color you chose, and add it to your syllabic poem.
- Remember, if you write a freestyle poem, please include a syllabic form along with it.
This week I have chosen to write a Butterfly Cinquain . The syllable pattern to this is (2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2)

Purple Intuition
Ever
Seeing eyes shut
Intuition our guide
Purple is the colour of sight
Leading
Us by a mother’s gentle hand
Into the one true light
Where tomorrow
Unfolds.
