In response to Colleen’s weekly poetry challenge #70, I have written a tanka and a haiku.
The prompt words are Challenge & Destiny, with the condition only to use their synonyms.
Tanka
Defying the norm
carving a niche for herself
rewriting her fate
sealed with tenacity and
an identity sans tags!
Haiku
Resilient soul
confronting the trying times
redrafting karma!

Your poetic prowess keeps me baffled, Radhika. You express it so beautifully. Like the second one – such few lines but so powerful. Just apt in the current situation of the world.
