WEEKLY TANKA TUESDAY POETRY CHALLENGE STARS | #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 203 #EKPHRASTIC #PHOTOPROMPT

Posted on by Colleen M. Chesebro

Diana Peach’s selection for our Ekphrastic PhotoPrompt is an image by John Bauer, whose artwork is concerned with landscape and mythology. There is so much emotion in this one piece. It spoke to all of us.

Many congratulations to everyone who joined in!

This week I selected Dolores from Ada’s Poetry. I enjoyed her senryu and tanka, all inspired by the above image.

Congratulations, Dolores, it’s your turn to pick challenge name for next month’s challenge. Please Email me your choice at tankatuesdaypoetry@gmail.com before next month’s challenge.

reflections
in the deep pool a woman
becomes a child

enchanted weald
the tree nymph
become a real girl
love given to false-hearted 
doomed to sorrow and pain

woodland brook
dryad plays shelters
lost faun

  3. That was so fun, Colleen. I loved loved the poems this image produced. Beautiful, delicate, moving, and varied. Thanks so much for the opportunity to provide the prompt and play along. Congrats to Dolores on her lovely response.
