Waiting for Spring (Colleen’s Weekly #Poetry Challenge – #Tanka)

by | March 16, 2018 | J.C. Wolfe's Writing, Poetry | 4 comments

I endure winter

Until the frost melts away

And the warmth returns

Easter and St. Patrick’s Day

Mark the verdant days of spring!

My response to Colleen Chesebro‘s Weekly Poetry Challenge #75: Patience & Green. The twist is to only use synonyms for the prompt words! For this challenge, I chose to write a tanka about spring. I hope you enjoy the poem! Thanks for the prompt, Colleen!
