What day
is it?
The date,
wait, no
the time. Is it
Friday
yet?
Are you
sure?

@nerdlogic0_o Thank you for the suggestion! I am veritably inches from graduation, so I have been behind on all the things!

[Carolyn Grace @HoneysuckleMuse]

I have avoided
for a week the plunge into
the really hard work.
Now in moments where before
in hours, in days. Shifting gears.

I pulled the withered
petals away, revealing
fresh blooms. Unblemished
and fragrant. My house is full
of lovely rescued roses.#tanka #roses

@theeltjv2 And to you! :)

[Damian Garside @damian2649]

oh the
learning curve for
poetry

let's say it's one
where you have to
lean into
the line
where

it

bends

metaphorically

The heights are endless
Even if you need
A little help to fly

@scarville There is an incredible elegance to your work, in its imagery and brevity.

[Carolyn Grace @HoneysuckleMuse]

Can this just be an acceptable form of currency?
I'll pay in poems
You'll pay in prose
We'll invest in possibility

I don't look on poetry as closed works. I feel they're going on all the time in my head and I occasionally snip off a length.

@theeltjv2 I am so happy that you connected with it that way. It's always the hope that someone might find their own reflection in the poem!

[Carolyn Grace @HoneysuckleMuse]

Thank you for your kind feedback. I am so pleased that you enjoyed it! https://t.co/ub3xGLSphG

[Carolyn Grace @HoneysuckleMuse]

@lintychim Not at all! I hope you like the poem as a whole as much as you liked the piece!
