It’s the second week of the month! Are you ready to choose some syllables to use in your poetry? Gwen Plano from last month’s challenge picked your two words:
“Dawn & Twilight“
#Tanka Tuesday Weekly #Poetry Challenge No. 229, #SynonymsOnly
First,
Before
Day broke man
Made the morning
Sunset on its own
Half light brought out the wolves
Evening where lovers kiss
Night declines, yet more is needed
Unfold the morning, do all again
Soft afterglow warms the cockles of my heart…

Lovely poem, Anita. There’s nothing like a soft afterglow. :)
There isn’t, is there?
There’s great imagery in this Etheree. Remember, in syllabic poetry, we don’t capitalize the first letter of each line. That is because we write in breathy phrases, just as you’ve done. This is great, Anita. <3
Thank you, Colleen…
You’re welcome. ❤️
Lovely take on the prompt. I love the words Gwen chose. A beautiful, evocative poem :)
Thank you, Harmony!
