Today’s poetry is inspired from Colleen’s poetry challenge, which gives the freedom to choose our own syllabic form but concentrate on a chakra color to feature in our poem. Please visit Word Craft Poetry to understand chakras. I chose tanka and violet color.
vernal violet
visual delight that jolts
royal touch that holds
just one glance satiates me
even dew lingers to love
***
violet bells dance
tunes of nature inspire
winds wane to watch them
beguile me in my backyard
scenario to cherish
***
Ah! The healing touch,
profound awareness moments
smear my soul with peace
to feel mystical embrace
and the shift of perspective

I chose Violet color, which symbolizes creativity, wisdom, sensitivity and spirituality. It inspires, motivates, balances and uplifts. Thanks to Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry.
Thank you.
