This week for #TankaTuesday, we were to create a new syllabic form without using any of the Japanese syllabic forms. I created the sevenfold.
The word sevenfold is seven times as much in size, strength, number, or amount. It’s seven times as much; multiplied by seven; sevenfold.
The sevenfold is a seven-line stanza, with seven syllables in each line, for a total of 49 syllables per stanza (7 x 7 = 49). You can create as many stanzas as you desire.
"Seven Chakras Sing" magical numbers repeat universal patterns show secret messages within... the angel number seven confirmation of wisdom given with love from above while your seven chakras sing move forward to accomplish this life's beloved mission remove all self-doubts and fears face hardships with bravery embrace the spiritual strengthen your bond with kindness fulfill your forever dreams © Colleen M.

Love, love, love! Your poem is wonderful, Colleen! I look forward to using that meditation later today. 🙂
I love this quick chakra balancing meditation. It works for me every time. Thanks so much, Yvette. <3
I like this, a lot! 7 is such a great number and you also chose a wonderful subject to write about, the chakras. Rock it, Sis!! <3
I’m working on those Reiki classes so this seemed perfect. I’m glad you like it. I didn’t have a clue and really had to think about it. LOL! 😀
I like the name “sevenfold.” It will make the form easy to remember.
I had fun creating this one. 😂❤️
🙂
This has a good rhythm Colleen–along with a good message! (K)
Thanks Kerfe. The syllable count definitely creates the rhythm. This was fun to create. ❤️
I love this, Colleen! Namaste 🙂
Namaste, Denise. I’m going to try yoga. I’m ready to get flexible. 😂❤️
I have to get back into yoga and meditation more regularly. I took several classes of both in college and miss it 🙂
I’ll let you know how it goes. LOL! <3
Very clever, Colleen. And it works so well as a poetry form…
Thanks, Jaye. That’s the beauty of syllabic poetry. ❤️
And you are so good with them!
Thanks, Jaye. Now, I’m blushing! <3

Love both the form and the poetic meditation. Well done, Colleen! Have a wonderful weekend 💕🙂
Thanks, Harmony. I’m going to try yoga (old lady kind) and I thought this would help me on my way. 😂❤️
Namaste to you too, Colleen 😀
Namaste 🙏🏻 David. 😊
Your poem relays a beautiful message, Colleen. Namaste. ❤️
Thank you Franci, and Namaste,my friend. <3
Your poem is beautiful, Colleen. And thank you for sharing the meditation. It was great to take a pause and re-center! Perfect post!
Thank you, Jan! That made my day! ❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous, Colleen. I love the spiritual message and the flow of the form. And thanks for the moment to sit back and breathe. Have a blissful Sunday.
Thanks, Diane. I’m taking classes in Reiki so my poetry seems to come from that place. <3
Oh, how fun. My husband and I took reiki classes together when we first met. I still use it 30 years later. Enjoy the suffusion of energy and lingering glow.
Thanks, Diana. I’m working on the Reiki hand signals now. If I can remember them all, I’ve got it made. LOL! <3

This is great, Colleen. For the time being, I am staying with your 99 syllable poetry form creation and writing a new poetry book comprising of 99 AFrican poems of 99 syllables each. Such fun.
Robbie! I love it. I have tears knowing the double ennead is being used! Wow!! 😳❤️🥲
I love the greater scope offered by the extra syllables, Colleen. It’s a great form and I hope to write a poem in that format for your current challenge.
It’s a fabulous form. And you can do whatever you want with it. 😍❤️
Namaste, Colleen. Sevenfold: how forward-looking. I like it. Thanks for the lovely message. Tremendous. xoxo
You’re welcome. I like the number 7. 😂 It just goes to show that syllabic poetry need not be difficult. ❤️
Loved this Sis. Although, I used to always love the number 7, plus it’s my birthday number, but as the years went by, I sadly, equate the number with death. 🙁 <3
That’s too bad Sis. Maybe you will come to love the number again. ❤️❤️❤️
