This week Colleen Chesebro’s #Tanka Tuesday Challenge 215 – Poet’s Choice and I have created a double Badger Hexastich.. if that is permissible…
Badger Hexastich – Happiness
Wishing
your life away
delaying happiness
until whims are fulfilled
wastes time that is
precious
Living
in the moment
and fully embracing
all the gifts you have now
brings true riches
and joy.

I love the name of this form. Beautiful wisdom, Sally, something we all know, but must be reminded of frequently it seems. At least that’s true for me. Enjoy the moment!
