For a nymph, I fell.
Enamoured with her I am.
With glee, I am spelled.
Chains cast in steel lift my heart.
Happy as a lark, I am.

This post is in response to Colleen’s weekly Tanka Tuesday poetry challenge.
The prompts for this week’s challenge are synonyms of ENCHANT and SHAPE.
Chains cast in steel lift my heart. I love the paradox; it makes it pop with colours. Great poem! It is a winner.

😀.Not a big deal really. Check out Colleen’s link on my post for more information. There are quite a lot more poetry forms to discover. But then poems are not really your thing……yet. I think you are more of a prose person…a script writer and story teller for now🙂.
