Tanka Poets on Site (August 26 prompt)

     A million thanks to Susan Burch! My poetry birthday fest is over at Write Me a Birthday Poem, but she still wrote me a tanka as she responded to a prompt on Tanka Poets on Site.

 

     Here is what she wrote:

descending

in the hot air balloon

I inhale deeply...
feeling that last breath of sky
stamp me with sunshine

 

 

dedicated to my friend chrissi villa in lieu of a birthday haiku...

And here's a lovely response from Kathy Uyen Nguyen's. I am also grateful for this offering.


with the last breath
of the coral skies
I write the beat
of my name inside
the palm of your hand
 

 

 

prompt: hot air balloons
