A Tanka: Beautiful Bond

My beautiful boy
Into the eyes of his own 
Ground in profound love
May their bond afford them strength
Through life’s perpetual flux


This week’s TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge is hosted by Willow. Willow prompts us to “[w]rite a syllabic poem on how a piece of music inspires you or what it says to you.” I chose Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy) by John Lennon.

W3 Prompt #133: Wea’ve Written Weekly poet of the week, Carol Anne, prompts us to write a haiku, tanka, or senryu incorporating the word “strength”.

  1. hi Jennifer thank you so much for joining in. You picked a beautiful piece of music and it obviously inspired you as your words are wonderful, full of the proud parental love that bonds us to our offspring!

    Great choice for both prompts 💜💜💜
