This week, Colleen said : choose your own syllabic form and a color to feature in your syllabic poem. If the form is from the #TankaTuesday Cheatsheet, let us know so we know where to look for directions. If it’s a new form, share how to write it and where you found the instructions. Think about the different ways you can use color in a poem.”
P.S. 🌈 Taste the Rainbow refers to colors. You do not have to write about a rainbow in your poem. Just include a color in your poem.
THIS IS PART OF COLLEEN’S TANKA TUESDAY CHALLENGE.
To day I have chosen an Abhanga. Which is a poem in any number of 4-line stanzas with 6-6-6-4 syllables each. L2 and L3 rhyme. The end rhyme scheme is abbc. It is customary to title your poetry.
A Father’s Love
Warm is a father’s love
Golden like summer sun
Nurturing, yet with fun
Strong protecting.
Deep as azure kissed sea
Taking care, teaching well
All life’s problems he quells
Strong protection.
Pride like a rusty red
Glows in his loving heart
To teach you to be smart
Strong protection.
