Hello everyone. Happy May! This week, choose your own syllabic form and a color to feature in your syllabic poem. If the form is from the #TankaTuesday cheat sheet, let us know so we know where to look for directions. If it’s a new form, share how to write it and where you found the instructions. Think about the different ways you can use color in a poem.

Color Meanings – The Power and Symbolism of Colors

P.S. 🌈 Taste the Rainbow refers to colors. You do not have to write about a rainbow in your poem. Just include a color in your poem. 🌈

Hi Colleen,
I couldn’t participate last week!
The heat has made me lazy!
But I couldn’t resist penning a few words just now!
My poem is @ https://indishe.wordpress.com/2022/05/08/tankatuesday-weekly-poetry-challenge-no-272-tastetherainbow-color-poetry/
Hi Colleen,
My poem is @ https://indishe.wordpress.com/2022/05/08/tankatuesday-weekly-poetry-challenge-no-272-tastetherainbow-color-poetry/.

Heat has made me lazy. All I want is to sleep or Netflix.
But this one motivated me☺️☺️
LOL! I understand. Stay hydrated. 💖
