#Tankatuesday is quite a challenge this week. To celebrate Colleen M. Chesebro’s birthday, we are asked to write a poem with 65 syllables. We also get to name our poem type, and I’m calling mine a “Jinx” because it has 13 lines. Each line has five syllables, totaling 65. Believe me, that math was not easy for me.
Jinx
Falling up the stairs.
Step on the stair that
Is not there. Find your
Balance or fall down.
Feel the flailing fear.
Black cats, cracked mirrors.
Walk under ladders.
No thirteenth floor, no
Button for thirteen
in elevators
We walk away from
Our superstitions
And we gain true strength.
Here is the link to the challenge!
