Colleen’s tanka challenge, as always includes the premise that only synonyms for the prompt words must be used…
This week, the words were;
Beliefs & Strange
I penned two verses; one a tanka and the other a cinquain.
War, famine, anger
Conflicts tearing us apart
Will it ever stop?
Extraordinary hope
That our world will become oneRitu 2018
