Smorgasbord Poetry – Colleen Chesebro’s #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge- #Etheree – Finding Clarity by Sally Cronin

Posted on March 1, 2020 by Smorgasbord - Variety is the Spice of Life.

This week in Colleen Chesebro Tanka Tuesday Poetry No 166 – Theme Prompt the prompt is ‘Finding Clarity’… Here is my etheree.

Finding Clarity

The
brain strives
day and night
to find a sense
of understanding
about this world of ours.
Dreams often open pathways,
clear of the wakeful detritus,
leading our minds in a direction
to that sweet spot of perfect clarity.

Well done, Sally. Lovely poem. On a side note, the news here is showing Ireland getting slammed by a coastal storm. That news rarely gets here, so it must have been bad.

  Thank you Jennie.. I am afraid that the West coast gets a great deal of bad weather and being the first landfall after it has collected power over the Atlantic. We are on the East coast and get a little less but we still managed some pretty high winds yesterday and overnight… There was a video this morning of a lorry overturning which is very serious.. xxx

Very nice, Sally. I had something along these lines in mind, but I never got around to writing it. I am very focused on my WIP at the moment and made some good progress this weekend.
