#TANKA TUESDAY POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 78 RECAP, “GROW & HONOR,” #SYNONYMSONLY
Welcome to the Tanka Tuesday Poetry Recap. Last week I gave you two words that should have made you feel like spring is edging into your corner of the world, “grow & honor.” There were many synonyms to choose from and I am happy to see such diversity in your poems. Great job everyone!
Today is the day we vote on the poem that spoke to you the most. Remember, this isn’t a personality contest – it’s a poetry challenge. Visit the links below. Before you vote, ask yourself these questions:
- Does the poem follow the structured guidelines?
- What emotions do the words convey?
- What is it about the poem you selected that makes it resonate with you?
Next week, on the Recap I’ll announce the Poet of the Week winner(s) for No. 78 – Grow & Honor.
TO VOTE!
The Tuesday challenge post will contain the rules and links to learn how to write the different forms. Please read the post to learn how to write the poetry forms for this challenge. Please LINK your poetry to that post – NOT this one. ❤

Usually I dip into as many entries as I have time to – reading is v. v. v difficult for a dog – but, having the vote makes me read them all, so it helps me develop my poetry too, but it’s hard to choose.

Ben, you should select the poem that resonates the most with you. ❤ I know it's hard but it will help you write your own poetry by seeing how other people write their's. ❤
