#TANKATUESDAY Weekly #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 295, 10/25/22, #THEMEPROMPT
Here we are for another #TankaTuesday poetry challenge! Are you ready for a theme prompt? Anita Dawes selected this month’s theme:
One good wish just the one across the globe all minds work as one no more tears at bedtime no child crying in hunger why not join the wish train today? give the world a hug, with one good wish… ©AnitaDawes2022
It has been a while since we ran a book tour, and since diving into the one for Ghost of a Chance, I am constantly surprised by how complicated it is.
I repeatedly wish I had started much earlier, as time is passing at an alarming speed, and I never seem to get everything necessary done.
It would help if I didn’t keep wanting to improve what I thought was already in the bag. Like yesterday, I decided that the assigned blurb for Ghost of a Chance simply wasn’t good enough.
Then I discovered the book file was the wrong font size. Yesterday was also Sunday, a family dinner day, so I was very busy trying to wear several different hats simultaneously. Something that used to be fun, but lately, not so much.
To round off my Sunday nicely, I then looked at my personal bio! (shock horror!)
I am fast becoming a one-job-at-a-time person…
Come find me Take the wildflowers from my eyes Let me run with the west wind Find the source of dreams The kind that come true Bring back a bag full Drop them on sleeping eyes A Christmas gift from the cosmic winds Call me foolish, I know happy dreams make for a happy world to live in That’s the world I wish For my great granddaughter To grow in, to dream in My work is done Knowing her dreams will come true For the heart I leave behind…
