Hello! I’m late, I’m late… The arrival of Monday has got the better of me!

Welcome to my contribution to my weekly #Tanka Tuesday poetry challenge. This week, I tweaked the prompt word of “storm” to “rage and/or bluster,” and I changed “color” to “tints.” Both words have many connotations and can change the meaning of your Tanka poetry in many ways.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with synonyms. Sometimes subtle meanings pack the most punch in your poetry. Play with the words for different reactions. The best poetry has layers of meaning.

Please link your #Tanka Poem contribution to my post found here.

Don’t forget to join in and share your #Tanka #Poem using the words: Storm & Color, or if you need some visual inspiration write your Tanka poem and tell us of the feelings and descriptions this photo invokes:

Clouds swirl with rage –
as the winds of change bluster,
voices speak in tongues.
Noise tints the waiting silence.
The calm before the dark storm.
