“Serendipity,” A Tanka

  By

Tanka tuesday

Welcome to my contribution to my Weekly Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge where we use synonyms for the prompt words challenge and destiny. This week I used my favorite word – serendipity for “destiny”, and test for “challenge.”

Serendipity –
the joy of shared connections,
with another soul.
The test of friendship remains,
long after the thrill is gone.

About Colleen M. Chesebro

Colleen M. Chesebro is an American Novelist & Poet who loves writing paranormal fantasy and magical realism, cross-genre fiction, syllabic poetry, and creative nonfiction. She loves all things magical which may mean that she could be experiencing her second childhood—or not. That part of her life hasn’t been fully decided yet. A few years ago, a mystical experience led her to renew her passion for writing and storytelling. These days she resides in the fantasy realm of the Faery Writer where she writes the magical poetry and stories that the fairy nymphs whisper to her in her dreams. Colleen won the “Little and Laugh” Flash Fiction Contest sponsored by the Carrot Ranch Literary Community on November 2017, and in 2018, she won first place for the “Twisted Travel” category. Colleen lives in Arizona with her husband. When she is not writing, Colleen enjoys spending time with her husband. She also loves gardening, reading, and crocheting old-fashioned doilies into works of art. Learn more about Colleen on colleenchesebro.com.

    A strong bond that has always been there before they even met. That’s why nothing can ever come between them. Amazing header image too, Colleen!!
