She moved swiftly across the bridge, looked up, and jumped in the deep, dangerous waters. The crowd behind her cheered and applauded, expecting her to resurface. Insensitive?

Yes, this is exactly what I visualized during past life regression. I ambled slowly through this tunnel, taking the time to choose a door. “Step in,” said the voice, “and meet me.

Today, I thought I’d join in with Colleen’s Weekly #Tanka poetry prompt. I’ve never written a Tanka before. I have had some experience of writing haiku so hopefully, it shouldn’t be too difficult. After all, it’s just a case of adding two extra lines at the end of a haiku format, so instead of 5,7,5 we have 5,7,5,7,7…. in the first section you put forward the image in the reader’s mind that you want to convey and the final two lines should express the poet’s ideas about that image.
Colleen’s prompt words are:
Bloom and Late
So here goes… Be gentle on me it is my first Tanka!!
Ahem, I’m not quite sure where that last line came from…. LOL!!!
Do pop over to Colleen’s blog and join in the challenge too…

The pain was unbearable, as the familiar hand stabbed her in the back, and the trusted face twisted into a contorted smile. She turned away, not letting him see the blood or the pain. She had deprived him of a sense of victory. There were many more waiting out there, with a similar set of … Continue reading How many turns?
