#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

Very nice, Anita… the imagery is rich and the emotions tug at my heart. <3
Anita sends her thanks Colleen, as do I… glad you liked it!
Many hugs to you girls. <3

Oh goodness, I hope this was just a dream. The sadness you’ve captured in words is palpable. Well done, Anita. 💗
Just a dream, Gwen… but we live in sad times…
The sadness just oozes out of that poem. Great job, Anita! :-)
Thank you Yvette…
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Have a nice day! xx Michael
Thank you Michael…
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 💕🙂
Anita’s body may be wrecked, but her mind keeps on going! Thanks for such a lovely comment, Harmony…
Wow, I like the imagination
Thank you!
