#TankaTuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge No. 259:
Red is the colour of my true loves hair I foolishly lost her in a dream my days are too full of longing to find the love I have lost alas, the days are long the night is too dark my heart broken my pillow drenched in tears

I’m guessing this is a reverse Etheree? (From the syllable count and form.) Wonderful imagery, Anita. “Days too full of longing” is so true 💕🙂
