#TANKA TUESDAY #POETRY STARS | #PoetsChoice

  By

Welcome to our weekly poetry stars celebration. This week’s challenge was poet’s choice, always a favorite!

I always look forward to the beginning of the month because you all can choose a syllabic form of your choice. It’s always fun to see the creativity! This week’s poetry was filled with lovely photos, drawings, and even a painting!

Heather wrote a cinquain swirl HERE which was a unique form.

Selma wrote a metered abecedarian poem HERE. It ended up as 13 syllables per line!

Make sure and stop by and read Kerfe’s haiku HERE along with her painting!
