Padre was the first to respond this week to Ritu’s fabulous photo. His Mirror Cinquain has been on my mind all week. Where I saw shadows and mystery, Padre saw a normal evening in the suburbs.
Padre, you can pick the photo image for next month’s challenge. Please email me at tankatuesdaypoetry@gmail.com with your photo. Please add any copyright information to go along with the photo. Thanks.

Evening
Evening
Houselights appear
Baths done, pajamas on
Children to be soon tucked in bed
Quiet
Moment
Drink before the television
School lunches still to pack
Doors checked – secured
Goodnight

The few words describe an ordinary scene–it’s very ordinariness a sort of simple beauty in itself.

That’s what I thought too. Sometimes I overthink these images. The mundane is beautiful in it’s simplicity. I feel very zen today. ❤️
