I wrote my first haiga for the #Tanka Tuesday Challenge: silver linings. Yvette M. Calleiro is this week’s host. Here is her challenge:
“This week’s challenge will focus on creating a syllabic poem that centers around the idea of silver linings. “You can choose to write a poem that contrasts struggles and blessings. You can also choose to focus on any contrast between dark and light. For a list of poetry forms, click HERE.”
I hope you enjoy my first ever haiga.
A couple of days ago, during a storm, a sparrow hawk took shelter on our balcony.
This is the first time I’ve seen one up close!
Its sheer beauty struck me. I had to sketch it!
My thanks to the #Tanka Tuesday Challenge and Yvette M. Calleiro for the inspiration.
Enormous thanks to you, dear reader, for popping by and reading.
