This feature was created by Colleen Chesebro. This week’s words are “pleasant” and “read.” This time, I couldn’t find synonyms of these words that said what I wanted to say, so since I couldn’t think of another direction to go with this Tanka, I traversed off the beaten path, as it were. Instead of “read,’ I used “absorb,” and instead of “Pleasant,” I used “good.” I wish you all a bundle of pleasant reads.

I like to absorb
a good book that transports me
To another world
filled with love, passion, joy, loss,
grief, rejuvenation, peace.

Thank you, Colleen. I’m glad you don’t mind that I bent your rule just a little bit by not using exact synonyms of the words.

I leave that entirely up to the poet, Abbie. Sometimes the rules can stifle creativity. I’d rather you write what pours out of your heart. ❤
