For this week’s Colleen’s Tuesday Poetry Challenge 145 Colleen Chesebro has provided us with a photo prompt.. in a new twist the previous month’s poet of the week for the photo prompt gets to choose the image..This month that honour falls to Jane Dougherty.
I have selected a #Tanka for this week’s challenge…

#Tanka – Adrift
When I feel adrift
in raging waters of life,
I look to nature.
I see ancient trees stand firm,
urging me to do the same.
