This is my entry for Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Haiku Challenge. This week I chose a Tanka.
Here held in my hand
All life could ever offer
Nothing to desire
No one to blame but my self
I forged my own destruction.

Our prompt for JusJoJan 2019, January 8th is brought to you by Ritu! Click here to find her last post and say hi while you’re there! Ritu’s word for our prompt today is “self.” Use it anywhere in your post or make it the theme of your post. Have fun!
This took me an age to work out but after a while it came to me in the form of my present self giving my younger self some advice I would of appreciated or maybe not , who knows.
Anyway it’s an Etheree and I have tried to use the word self at least once in each line.
Self
Self worth
Not selfish
Know yourself well
My dear younger self
Do not sell yourself light
As I sold myself well short
No we cannot change ourselves yet
I as your older self will tell you
Know yourself, your self worth, be always kind.
