What a fantastic week of poetry! Those prompt words (blessed & hex) picked by Anita Dawes really hit the spot for inspiration. I loved all the magical poetry! So did Freyja!
Here are the links to the poetry for this week, courtesy of Mr. Linky:
Congratulations, Jules, it’s your turn to pick the synonyms for next months #Synonyms Only challenge. Please Email me your choice at tankatuesdaypoetry@gmail.com.
“Un’shelf’ish,” solo renga
allure to curl up on a bookish day; either too hot or rainy
divine alone time until eyelids flutter; close for sleep
on the shelf color d’versity of many themes for all interests
An avid reader, Colleen M. Chesebro rekindled her love of writing poetry after years spent working in the accounting industry. These days, she loves crafting syllabic poetry, flash fiction, and creative fiction and nonfiction.
In addition to poetry books, Chesebro’s publishing career includes participation in various anthologies featuring short stories, flash fiction, and poetry. She’s an avid supporter of her writing community on Word Craft Poetry.com by organizing and sponsoring a weekly syllabic poetry challenge, called #TankaTuesday, where participants experiment with traditional and current forms of Japanese and American syllabic poetry.
Chesebro is an assistant editor of The Congress of the Rough Writers Flash Fiction Anthology & Gitty Up Press, a micro-press founded by Charli Mills and Carrot Ranch.
In January 2022, Colleen founded Unicorn Cats Publishing Services to assist poets and authors in creating eBooks and print books for publication. In addition, she creates affordable book covers for Kindle and print books.
Chesebro lives in the house of her dreams in mid-Michigan surrounded by the Great Lakes with her husband and two (unicorn) cats, Chloe & Sophie.

A great way to share the poems, Colleen. And what an unusual poem from Jules. So creative. 🙂
I hope your book is coming together well. Stay safe and Happy Writing, my friend. ❤
The editing will soon begin! I’m ready. I’ve got several projects lined up for publication. I’m busy and loving it. Hugs for stopping by and stay safe. ❤
I’m not sure what book I was reading then… as I’ve usually got at least two or three going at once.
I just finished another one yesterday. A fun murder mystery with a crossword too – Turns out there is a series by Parnell Hall about the Puzzle Lady. 😀
Well done Jules and everyone 💜💜💜
