Haibun – The Autumn Dance!
In response to Colleen’s weekly tanka challenge # 80, to use the synonyms only of the prompt words Soft & Gather.
I step out to witness a picturesque seasonal transition, one autumn morning. The porch is enveloped in a vibrant carpet of yellow and crimson leaves . The cool breeze caresses and whispers to them, sweet nothings. Coyly smiling, they sway under the cloudy sky, whispering secret messages, finally cascading to create a rustling harmony.
The mild autumn breeze
wafting warm cinnamon blends
celestial rhythms
the scarlet leaves congregate
choreograph balletic moves!
Tanka – Earth & Water
Called a blue planet
majestic aqua oceans
kindling its own symphony
waves ebbing in harmony
with the footprints on the shore!
In response to Colleens weekly poetry challenge #26 – Earth and Water
I have used the synonyms planet and aqua in their place.
Tanka – Help & Smile
Ever smiling face,
helping hands that loved and healed
a beacon of light
divine mother to millions
dwell in our hearts for ever!

Lets open the doors
Bury animosity
Foster true friendship
Between people and nations.
Peace and brotherhood prevail.

Feel and reflect on
the flickering thoughts of mind,
ravel its beauty
in a meditative trance,
drifting across the cosmos.
