This week’s Poetry Challenge at Colleen Chesebro’s Word Craft is a #Photoprompt and we can choose any form of syllabic poetry for the story. I’ve written a tanka.
WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!
It’s the third week of the month! Time for a #PhotoPrompt
Aishwarya, aka, Kitty from Kitty’s Verses, was my selection from last month’s challenge. She has provided the photo for this month’s challenge. Remember, don’t just describe what is in the photo. Engage your senses and work with implied metaphors to make your poetry sing!
All Aboard
Last chance for escape
Anticipating freedom
Awaiting the train
Fleeing evil injustice
Last stop ticket to new world

I was thinking of a one-way ticket to paradise! LOL! There’s also the freedom train analogy which works so well in our trying political climate. Well done, Sis. ❤
