Shadorma for #TankaTuesday
The prompt this week is based on this picture by Monet:

I always Had the impression That Monet Needs glasses. The blurs are not purposeful They are myopic.

Persistence of Kisses
How is a kiss so fleeting Yet so persistent? Long after lips have parted, and dried. The feeling lasts as an echo, bouncing back from a distant canyon wall, returning not to the face but to the mind.
New Yorker

I may never be published in The New Yorker but I can see it from my hotel window
From my journal

Besides having very high aspirations as a young writer, I also had an inflated belief in my abilities. I thought I was Creator level, with a capital C. Humility, and years, have brought me to understand that being a creator is a high enough calling, without believing I have to match the incomparable beauty that has been created and shared with all.
Synonym Challenge on #tankstuesday
I was given two words that I can only use synonyms for. I wrote a cinquain to meet the syllable challenge.
Uncoil Buds spin open Tender verdant hue That deepens when emerald leaves Return
Thanks to Colleen M Chesebro. You can find the challenge, and the two words at www.wordcraftpoetry.com.
It would be fun if you made a guess at the two words and left a comment!
