embrace your life’s path
yonder in a verdant field
bargain to the end
#TankaTuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge No. 263, 3/1/22: #Tastetherainbow-Color Poetry
Colleen’s weekly challenge is to choose your own syllabic form and a shade of green to feature in your syllabic poem. You’ll receive bonus points if you don’t use the name: green. You’ll also receive bonus points if you can also incorporate a different meaning for the word green in your poem.
Reena’s Xploration Challenge #220
Reena has a quote this week for our weekly prompt.
“Life is a mountain. Your goal is to find your path, not to reach the top.”
Maxime Lagace
-Eugi
Only you can sum up a complex concept in so few words. Kudos to you!
Thank you so much, Reena!
Beautiful poem, Eugenia! I love the idea of embracing one’s path while still bargaining to the end. 🙂
Thank you so much, Yvette!
Wonderful, Eugi. I love this 💕🙂
Thank you, Harmony! I’m making my rounds through Colleen’s group now.
If only we can keep some of those roads open for all to walk…
Lovely. I know I’ve seen this road 😉 Maybe even walked it when I was younger.
I think I heard on the news that NYC’s Central park had a 6 mile walking path around the park – something like that.
If you live a city – take the time to find a park sanctuary!!
Where we live, there are plenty of lovely areas for a peaceful walk. It does a body good to enjoy walks with nature.
😀
Lovely image with an inspiring poem! Excellent take on the prompt, Eugi. 👌 Fields of green are so serene. 🙂
Thank you, Debbie!
I embraced my life path long ago. It’s the only way to go.
Have a fabulous day and weekend, Eugenia. ♥
Good for you, Sandee! 😊
I just came back from my walk. It was a wonderful wander. I can relate to your words. It took a while but I have learned to embrace my path.
It seems the older I get the more I embrace my path.
Love it! <3 Sharing…

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! 😊
So amazing, Eugi. What a radiant photo and a clear instruction. It’s true; our goal should be to find and focus on our own path, not on reaching the top. Wonderfully said. ❤
Thank you, Lamittan! ❤️
Most welcome, Eugi. 💕
Love it Eugi!🙂

I love that I can read this line in a couple different ways, Eugi 🙂

Thank you, David. 😊 I feel the beauty of poetry is interpretation.
Verdant is always a good choice for the color green. This was a lovely haiku, Franci. <3
Thank you, Colleen! 😊
You’re always so welcome, Franci. I’m reading your new book! <3
Thank you so much for reading my book, Colleen. Most of the poems may not follow form but reflect my feelings thus the title “Life’s Spilled Coffee”. I am copying my PoetrySoup poems to my new blog because I want my work that is elsewhere also on one of my blogs. Wow, what an experience trying to find a suitable WP.com theme for my new blog! So many of them don’t work. Yikes!
I know what you mean! I’ve just started your book and will review on WCPP when I’ve finished. I’m reading two at a time these days. LOL! I like this Libre 2 theme. It seems to be working. WOO HOO! <3
I tried Libre 2 and I wasn’t happy that the sidebar appeared on posts but not the blog page.
Oh, I’ve got ya. There isn’t much choice anymore. I’m really disappointed. I’m going to take the class that supposedly teaches you how to set up the new editor. I’ll keep you posted. ❤️
I thought about taking that class, as well. Keep me posted. ❤️
I will, Franci. We’ll have to learn it soon than later. <3
beautiful and deep.
Thank you, Jude!
My pleasure.
Always moving forward, always accepting reality, and always choosing what’s best for you. A recipe for living! Good one, Eugenia, and what a stunning image. 🙂
Thank you, Susi!
You’re welcome, Eugenia! 🙂
