a long way to go,
as I continue to climb,
it’s almost a race.
don’t look down, look up,
did you say that I’m tiny?
just think perspective.
you see from my side,
I’m invincible, really,
I am a giant!
such fun, eh… giggling.

This image shows a small metal statue of a tiny man climbing a pole. The statue is of a man wearing a suit and a hat and looking upwards.

a tasty morsel
tongued with creaminess, gorgeous
it’s melting and moist
sprinkling happiness
drawn with pastels and charcoal
a luscious painting
a delightful cake
dark and delicious, blissful
it could eat itself

Thanks to Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. This week, let’s experiment with synesthesia.
a beautiful eagle
he flies up
such a wonderful sight
I look up and I can only just see him
I craned even further
and I almost lost my balance
on my window
then he dives down, what has he taken?
a mouse, perhaps?

This image shows a hawk-golden eagle, sitting on the grassy surface. Its neck is turned sideways and it’s staring intently into a distance.

Too close for comfort
that’s for sure
why has that happened?
That ship is huge
while our lighthouse seems so tiny
in comparison.
Back, back, we shout!
Push, push, for pity’s sake…
can they hear at all?
But it’s beginning to work
Heave-ho – that’s the ticket!
My goodness that was worrying for a bit.

This photo shows a part of a ship that is anchored very near a lighthouse. The lighthouse appears very small in comparison to the ship.

in my fruit basket
there’s plums, tangerines, avos
it maybe winter
but toms are still ripening
and sitting in the sun room
What to eat for lunch? Maybe use the avocado – definitely ready. Opening it up… mmm, perfect. A little mayonnaise with some tuna, or even better, make some guacamole. So mash the avocado mixed with tomato, a tiny bit of chopped onion and a little chilli pepper. Now we could go really mad. Let’s pile everything in to some tacos, and hey presto… it must be Taco Tuesday – just like Tanka Tuesday (well, it’s only a couple of days late).

The challenge for this week is all about fruit!
he’s an artist
he strides across the fields
he has his easel and all the other things he needs
he stops
he looks around
it’s the perfect place
he sets everything out
and then he paints
broad strokes
colours vivid
is it a masterpiece?

This image shows a windmill standing in a field of tulips. In the background, you see there is a yellow fog and it seems like there is dust in the air.

it’s early morning
sitting inside and staring out
drinking warm rooibos
looking up, who’s there?
they’re definitely married
these two darling doves
we’d thrown out some seeds
but meanwhile we have breakfast
and that’s lovely too

It’s a senryu series – delightful!

a failure?
not for me
I’m far too clever
to not to do anything like that
I might be boasting more than a bit
but what’s wrong with that?
I’ve got my great camera
I can whiz it out
how fun it is
hurrah!

Looking out to sea and see the sea
what a complicated thing it is…
but he doesn’t think too much
in fact, he’s rather thick
but he’s only doing his job.
He’s pretty handy
he’s slow at somethings
but in other ways he’s quick!

have you guessed it?
a traffic warden
or maybe he’s a footballer
any other ideas?
it’s warm and mellow
she prances and pirouettes
her name is Selene
she has a strawberry glow
and she is captivating
~The moon and I have a secret. She knows the reason why I’m smiling~
— Sanober Khan
she has two faces
and she goes further away
it’s frosty silver
and then she dances again
the next time she’s moon bathing

It’s a Tanka Puente – gorgeous!
