Two more great prompt words from Colleen this week for her tanka challenge: passion and cheer. Here is my take on them:
Passion streams within
As space between us closes
Memories flicker
Heart and soul now overflow
As I’m overcome with cheer

I discovered the Japanese poetry form of tanka several years ago and it quickly became one of my favorite styles of poem to write. It took much longer to realize that I was not writing it correctly; I still foul it up frequently to honest! Anyway, this week I stumbled across a new tanka challenge and wanted to participate so over the last few days I have worked this one out.
Moonlit skies above
Sprinkled with starry glitter
Hope springs fresh and new
Hours away from dawning anew
Tomorrow holds a fresh start
