(#Tanka)
Speaking to his heart
Giving it his instructions
It doesn’t listen
It has a mind of its own
The heart wants what the heart wants
Trying a new tack
Tells it to take what it wants
His heart leaps with joy
Spirit responds- now aflame
The heart wants what the heart wants

Excellent. It’s fun doing a Haiku and then a Tanka. It really gives you a feel for the word count and added meaning. ❤

Hi Colleen, it’s a double tanka…. unless I got my syllable count wrong. A pleasure taking part!
