Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge: ENCHANT & SHAPE
The prompt words for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge No. 81 are ENCHANT & SHAPE, Synonyms Only. In this Tanka, I use Charming for Enchant and Physique for Shape.
Physique charming
Words flattering, smile so sweet
Like bees to honey
Appearance masks his deceit
His winning is others grief

The Showers of Blessings
