Today I’m back, hopping on to another of Colleen’s weekly poetry challenge. Choose which style of syllabic poetry we like, using SYNONYMS only for the words: FAMILY and PEACE. I’ve written a Haibun with a Haiku.
WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!
Are you ready to choose some syllables to use in your syllabic poetry this week? Ruth, from RuthKlein’s Scribbles, selected your two words:
Family & Peace
On the Monday recap, I’ll select someone to choose next month’s theme. For this poetry challenge, you can write your poem in the forms defined on the cheatsheet OR from the forms found on Poetscollective.org. You can read the full post at Colleen’s blog.

Oxymoron
In my world, these two words are a major confliction; family and peace in the same story. A tricky combination.
People misconstrue
Not all blood relationships
Provide harmony

So true, lol. I think you feel most comfortable with family, so you let your mouth go before the brain gets a chance to say, “hold on, there!”

Great take on the prompt Debby. And so true, I am so missing blogging, writing poetry at the moment. Plans to relocate are so time consuming! And I have to finish book 2, sigh. I need two of me!
