#TANKA TUESDAY Weekly #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 209, Last challenge of 2020

Posted on by Colleen M. Chesebro

WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!

For the LAST poetry challenge of 2020, I want you to write a poem about hope, using your favorite poetry form (it doesn’t have to be syllabic). Please make these poems inspirational to others.

No negativity and No politics! We’ve all had enough politics to last us another lifetime.

After you’ve written your poem, tell us why the specific form you chose is your favorite. Why does that form resonate with you? If it’s a new form, teach us how to write that specific form.

I’ll stop by and comment throughout the week as time allows. There will be NO recap post on Monday, January 4, 2021. Make sure and visit the other participant’s post through Mr. Linky or from the ping-backs on the challenge post.

Tanka Tuesday will resume on January 18, 2021.

Please sign up below for our weekly newsletter to stay in touch. I’ll see you all in Michigan! (Be aware that my time zone will change. In Michigan, I’ll be posting on Eastern Standard Time).

  9. I’ve been writing a serial. I could use this theme. But better yet I’m going to wait just a couple of days until I start double posting – So I can give your theme my full attention by itself.

    I don’t have a favorite form, but I have a tricky form that I’m going to try and put a positive spin on!

    Colleen, may your move be smooth and your unpacking be easy!! And may we all be celebrating Hope fulfilled in the New Year!! 🧡💛💚💙💜

      1. Whew! I was worried there. Seem to be out of touch but I see that you are heading to MI. The state has always been a healing to this city-bound soul. May to be the same to you.
