WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!

It’s the fourth week of the month! Are you ready for a theme prompt?
This month’s theme is a haiku written by Sue Vincent:
clouds cover the moon, beyond dawn's pale horizon sun rises unseen ©2020 Sue Vincent
Please use the above haiku to inspire your own syllabic poetry. There’s a lot to unpack in these words. What will your interpretation be? Go where the words take you. ❤
On the Monday before the next challenge, I’ll select someone to choose next month’s theme.
For Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge, you can write your poem in the forms defined on the Poetry Challenge Cheatsheet:
Here are some great sites that will help you write your poetry and count syllables
This site even has a link so you can install the extension on Google Chrome.
For Synonyms and Antonyms. When your word has too many syllables, find one that works.
Find out how many syllables each word has. I use this site to compose my poems. A simple yet very powerful syllable counter for poems and text which will count the total number of syllables and number of syllable per line for poems like haikus, limericks, and more.

THE RULES
- Write a poem using a form of your choice: Haiku, Senryu, Haiga, Tanka, Gogyohka, Renga, Solo-Renga, Haibun, Tanka Prose, Cinquain, and its variations, Ehteree, Nonet, and Shadorma.
- Post it on your blog.

Yeah, until I get the bill from the bogus home inspection the buyers guy did. He wasn’t smart enough to see that the vent hood/microwave combo is on a dedicated 20 amp circuit. Wants to charge us a grand to fix what isn’t broken!!
