Smorgasbord Poetry – Colleen Chesebro’s Tuesday Weekly Challenge – Poet’s Choice – #TankaProse – The Hunter’s Moon by Sally Cronin

This week on Colleen Chesebro’s Tuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge it is Poet’s Choice I have created a Tanka Prose…

Tanka Prose – Hunter’s Moon

The change in season has mind and body confused. One craves the sunlight slipping away. The other desires warming stews and comforting puddings. The birds forage in daylight storing fat for the long journey to the southlands. We must remain to make the most of the encroaching darkness.

Moon of many names
urges the birds to migrate
following the path
genetically embedded
southward to long sunlit days.

There is still time to participate in this week’s challenge: Tanka Tuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge: #Poet’s choice

My latest book is a collection of poetry and was published in July 2021 and here is a recent review.

One of the recent reviews for the collection

Sep 21, 2021 Sandra Cox rated it five stars it was amazing

Lovely imagery.
This is such a wonderful collection of verse. There’re poems of nature and her creatures. Poems of childhood. Of aging. And even of food. There’re poems of warning and poems of fun. The one thing they all have in common is the mastery of the verse itself. The collection of words that are strung together and used to spark a reaction, usually a smile and a feeling of warmth, and slide us into the worlds that the author created.
