#TankaTuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge No. 277: #Tastetherainbow-Color Poetry

Posted on by Colleen M. Chesebro

Hello everyone. Happy June and Pride Month! This week, choose a syllabic form and a color to feature in your 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.

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. 🌈

  14. Hi Colleen I have really enjoyed reading everyone’s poems so far they are amazing all so different and touching on the essence of colour absolutely up lifting.
    This week I have used rainbow and pride just because a memory hit me and though nothing to do with pride it fitted for me as the memories of that day fill me with warm happy colours 💜💜💜🌈
