“Serendipity,” A Tanka

Posted on 11 Feb 201810 Feb 2018 by Colleen M. Chesebro

Welcome to my contribution to my Weekly Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge where we use synonyms for the prompt words challenge and destiny. This week I used my favorite word – serendipity for “destiny”, and test for “challenge.”

Serendipity –
the joy of shared connections,
with another soul.
The test of friendship remains,
long after the thrill is gone.

Enjoy your day! ❤

A strong bond that has always been there before they even met. That’s why nothing can ever come between them. Amazing header image too, Colleen!!

    It totally is. Saying you’re a fantasy writer is almost redundant with that header 🙂

      LOL! My series started in Florida and ends up in Colorado. It’s the first time I found an image to represent that. It was serendipity. 😀
