to fly is a gift
an eruption to behold
till gravity speaks
in its imperious voice
and stills the music of flight
That (this) darn cannon was still on my mind this morning. So my tanka offering is a mash up between yesterday’s story (and word prompts) and today’s. Cheating? Maybe. But I woke up with it half formed in mind and it needed to be finished! Check out yesterday’s Flash Fiction for the companion story. It explains the cannon 😉 https://tinastewartbrakebill.com/2018/12/07/buon-viaggio/
So thanks again to yesterday’s prompts at WOTD (eruption) and One Daily Prompt (gift)
And today’s prompts from One Daily Prompt (imperious) and Linda’s SoCS (musical)
