Colleen runs a different themed poetry challenge every Tuesday at her blog, Word Craft. This week was a photoprompt challenge, known as Ekphrastic poetry. Something about this photo spoke to me, so I hopped on with my favorite style of syllabic poetry – a tanka prose.
WELCOME TO #TANKATUESDAY!
This challenge explores Ekphrastic poetry, inspired by visual art or photographs. Willow provided the photo for this month’s challenge. Now, we can see this is a statue, so get creative and think about what this statue could represent. Think about imagery and symbolism… then select a form and craft your poem!

United We Stand
When the world was hurting and hearts required a constant reminder to love their fellow man.
Encapsulated, Emotional History. Worldly Reminder. Commanding man's compassion, Eternal love conquers all.
