Hello there everyone.

I’ve been writing poetry again and had a go at joining in the fun over at Colleen Chesebro’s website for her “Colleen’s 2020 Weekly Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge”.

Tonight I have written a Triple Tetractys poem, which is a variation on the Cinquain poetry style.

I’m also making this a found poem as well, since I adore writing them. I ended up using a prose poem written by Frank O’Hara called “Meditations in an Emergency” as my inspiration.

If you want to read the intriguing poem that inspired my own poem then check it out at the link below:-

Finally, here is my poem, thank you for reading and hope you enjoy it!

“It’s Only Turning” by David Ellis

Heart
Feel more
Be someone
Change, with praises
Leave wishes, unless totally sincere
All time indiscriminate but fleeting
Keep curious
Attentive
Needed
Dear
Will
Become
Beautiful
Admire love, hope
Go where you want to, it’s only turning
