 Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge

 Synonyms Only & a Specific Form

Selma has asked us to write a tanka using synonyms for Mindless and Humdrum. 

After reading some of the synonyms (on www.thesaurus.com) I was reminded of something my niece's uncle said about the music at her wedding reception.  

credit 

no pleasing uncle

he always criticized her

down to little things

called wedding music white bread

we just called him moronic

      That "uncle" is one of my brothers. He is very judgmental about some things. It wasn't his wedding! He was married four times, maybe due to his attitudes! I don't eat white bread often, but it is the best bread for some things. Like peanut butter and jelly or grilled cheese!

      Thanks, and you're welcome! The family does find him rather dramatic and ridiculous. Family... what can you do?

A - Alphabet Haiku

-
It's April 1st, and time to start the 26 day alphabet countdown.  Every day, with Sundays off, I'll be posting a poem relating to that day's letter.  It may be a form (such as this one for A), a title, a subject, something to do with a prompt.  I fully admit, some will be better than others.  There is still time for you to join in.  www.a-to-zchallenge.com Here we go!  A - Alphabet Haiku  Alphabet haiku is an invented form created by Beatrice Evans.   Invented forms are new poetic structures that do not necessarily follow traditional or established "rules."  Alphabet haiku follows the traditional haiku syllable count of 5/7/5.  The only change required is each word begins with the same letter.   Wet windblown wastelands. Weary white winter weather. Wake, wonderous warmth! ©2024 Lisa Smith Nelson. All Rights Reserved  F will be another A poetry form, the American Sentence.
