#TankaTuesday #Poetry Challenge

shore serenity
silent whispers evoke thoughts
waves caress my toes
low tide speaks in syllables
hurtling down memory lane.

***

memories numb me
swallowed by the tide of time
I study each wave
and step into the glum sea
to sail on its silky edges.

***

waves wash away moods
comfort sails with emotions
evanescent tides
melt castles of illusion
pacify plaintive musing.

Thanks to Lisa Fox (aka JadeLi) who is the host for this week’s TankaTuesday Challenge. She has given a list of words and says “choose three (or more) words from the given list and write a syllabic poem using them.” Click on the link to see all the words. I’ve highlighted the ones I chose from the list. 

Thank you dear readers.

Here is the Amazon link for my new poetry book.

For more poetry, hang out with  Hues Of Hope

  1. Balroop, your poem is filled of peace and unrest. Could it be that the harmonious rhythm from the sea will still your heart and mind .

    let the age old and wise waves fill you with stillness as they sing their song. Then breathe with the rhythm of them.
    Hugs 🤗 / Miriam
