“Serendipity,” A Tanka
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.

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!!

It totally is. Saying you’re a fantasy writer is almost redundant with that header 🙂

LOL! My series started in Florida and ends up in Colorado. It’s the first time I found an image to represent that. It was serendipity. 😀
