Colleen’s Weekly #Poetry Challenge

WEEKLY #TANKA TUESDAY #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 231, #THEMEPROMPT

This month’s theme is:

“Discovery”

Find
myself
on the page
the printed word
telling my dark past
turn the pages slowly
hold the book to a mirror
see myself for all that I am
ink marks on fresh white paper, that’s me
character in a paperback novel…

    Wonderful review of Collens works. I, too, am a huge fan of hers. She is such an angel.

    Sometimes our lives do feel like we are characters in a paperback novel, Anita. This is so true. <3

    We carry all the marks of our past in our skin. Sometimes it can be scary, but as you said, turn the pages!
