Poem: Home / Writerverse October Table of Doom

[meridian_rose]

For the writerverse October Table of Doom prompt "fixer upper"
Tanka, PG, no warnings apply


Three walls and no roof
A shell of a property
But it is all hers
And in her mind's eye she sees
The home it will soon become

This is lovely!

(And now I know what a tanka is thanks to googling.)

[meridian_rose]

Thank you :) It is my first tanka, so it's a fairly new concept to me too.

Nice! I like how this simple sentiment is actually a HUGE experience.

And clever use of "shell".

Thank you very much!
I sometimes watch those shows where people buy what are little more ruins and transform them into beautiful homes and you're right that it usually takes a lot more time and money than they expected to bring their vision to fruition, but also brings them immense satisfaction.

The tanka is great with the picture adding to the experience.

Thank you! Your tanka works inspired me to try something new :) I like creating images for works which I also publish on my professional blogs because they're easier to promote via Pinterest, Facebook, etc - and more eyecatching!

I am glad that I inspired you and you use images in your professional life. I believe the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words.
