I didn’t know
The world could be
So beautiful.
I didn’t know
There were so many colors
In the sky,
In the trees,
In the earth.
I didn’t know
Music is everywhere,
Life is poetry,
And magic is real.
I didn’t know
Distance is just a word,
That some forces
Are stronger
Than miles of empty space.
I didn’t know
Waiting could be so hard,
And yet so worth it
In the end.
I didn’t know
Anyone would wait
So many years
Just to be with me.
I didn’t know
I could be
So in love
And still fall deeper
Every day.
But then again,
There were many things
I didn’t know
Before I met you.

Everyday musings
Turn themselves to works of art
Scribbled on the page
Still I chase that fantasy
To craft the perfect story!
My response to Colleen Chesebro‘s Weekly Poetry Challenge #68: Myth & Write. The twist is to only use synonyms for the prompt words! For this challenge, I chose to write a tanka about creativity. I hope you enjoy the poem! Thanks for the prompt, Colleen!

Never think too hard
Take a leap on just a hunch
All is but a game
Don’t be afraid to have fun
Life is what you make of it!

I have the most fantastic story idea!
I just know it’ll make a bestselling novel!
I can’t wait for everyone to read it!
Said no writer ever.
I’m loving every single day of writing!
The words come out exactly right every time!
I can’t believe how perfect my first draft turned out!
Said no writer ever.
Editing is so much fun!
I’m so proud of what I’ve written!
Every change I make feels so right!
Said no writer ever.
Self-publishing is a piece of cake!
Book cover design and formatting are easy!
Everything is going so smoothly!
Said no writer ever.
All this marketing is a breeze!
People are already flocking to buy my first book!
Writing is the easiest job in the world!
Said no writer ever.
Writing is the worst!
I hate writing stories that nobody reads!
I swear, I’m giving up writing forever!
Said no writer ever.

Another year has ended,
A new one will begin.
So I’m starting over now
‘Cause I want to try again.
I wouldn’t call it “awful”,
My Twenty Seventeen,
But let’s just say it often felt
Like one long horror scene.
I am proud of my achievements
For the courage that they took.
I moved in with my boyfriend
And I started my own book!
Still, last year was a trial.
It was tough to make it through.
So I’m grateful for this feeling
That I get to start anew.
And no offense, of course,
If for you it was “the best”,
But most agree that last year
Wasn’t happy for “the rest”.
So here’s to new beginnings
And a fresh start full of cheer.
May this one find you better!
Have a wonderful new year!
