Tanka: The Stone man

by Feelings and Freedom | Aug 30, 2017 | Poetry | 6 comments

inquisitive eyes

questioning my subsistence

the stone man commanded

to resuscitate my life

to turn a new leaf of hope

The post is linked to Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge # 48. The challenge is to write a haiku/tanka/haibun using words “stone” and “turn”.
