Today I’m playing along with Laura Purdie Salas’s Digging for Poetry National Poetry Month project. This is a fun challenge each day, as Laura draws a game board card with five words that could be possible topics and then shares a handful of magnetic poetry words. Using her Day 19 topics and words, I decided to try a tanka with the main goal of simply making sense without cheating and adding different words!

frantic monkey mind
like a delirious mist
encourages fear;
drive her away and picture
bare blue sky of conscious life

For my National Poetry Project, I’m playing along with the poetry calendar created by Margaret and Molly.
