Colleen’s Weekly #Poetry Challenge

#Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 228, #Poet’sChoice

Happy JUNE! It’s the first of the month and you know what that means! Word Crafters, choose your own syllabic poetry form, theme, words, images, etc. It’s up to you! This opportunity only happens once a month!

Run,
don’t stop
don’t look back
life is watching
for that tiny slip
reminding you of fate
time is snapping at your heels
you could take the bull by the horns
turn around, meet whatever waits, head on
face the Summer with courage, brave and sure…

    Gorgeous poem. It looks just like Bell Rock in Sedona.

    Wonderful poem, Anita! My husband says “summer only comes once a year, so enjoy it.” Lol. :-)
