#TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge No. 55, Ekphrastic Poetry, 3/10/26 Hi! Welcome back to #TankaTuesday. Let's write syllabic poetry together!

Imagist Poetry, #TankaTuesday Robbie is our host this week at #TankaTuesday. She asked us to create imagist poetry. Read the post HERE. What I got out of the article Robbie shared is that short syllabic forms work best. I used the short form tanka (3-5-3-5-5) for this poem.

With silence falling
Alone face unresolved fears
Nation family self

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Louise Edington and I look at some of the people at the center of the conflict spreading in the Middle East (and also Senator Sheldon Whitehouse), and put the players in a much larger context of history and astrological cycles coming together.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

#TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge No. 54, Imagist poetry, 3/3/2026 Hi, this is Robbie, your host for this week's #TankaTuesday challenge. This week, we're writing imagist poetry. I was introduced to this interesting poetry form by Lindsey Martin-Bowen who explained this concept as being a poem wherein the poet focuses upon creating an image with the poem.
