A tanka from me today.
A russet carpet
Upon which lay stepping stones
Of deep emerald green
“Come to me,” the sun invites
“tread the path that no one has…”

TJ’s prompt this week, Rainbow.
I love this prompt! I had a great photo captured when I saw an upside down rainbow one day!
A Smile From Above
Colourful rainbow
Like a smile in the sky
Bringing hope to all

Then I remembered that one time I did indeed find a rainbow inside my house!
Unexpected Rainbow – A Tanka
A rainbow inside?
Imagine my surprise!
Caused by reflections
A CD was the true cause
…But I think it was magic!

You know it’s that time in the year when I go for a little trip with the kids to visit my parents…
When the Lil furball decides that my bag is his bed!
Sonu’s Tanka
I know you’re going
But I don’t want you to go
I’ll sit on your bag
Maybe you’ll stay then, with me
Or take me along with you

I’m not sure whether our challenge day is changing, or it’s just Ron keeping up on our toes, but the challenge I usually complete on a Monday, called out to me on a Sunday this week!
Our prompt words are Trill & Final.
Check the challenge out here
The Match – A Tanka
Twenty two players
Run ragged across the pitch
Fighting exhaustion
The shrill trill of the whistle
Sounds the end of the final
