Colleen’s 2020 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 188, #ThemePrompt

It’s the fourth week of July! Are you ready for a theme prompt? Sue Vincent selected the theme this week with a quote prompt:

“Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth.” Herman Hesse

Trees are my most favourite thing in this world, so thought I would add my two pennorth to this weeks prompt with a Tanka…

Trees are my best friends
Strong, protective, and loyal
Lending strength to us
Leading by example to
The wisdom of the ages…
