Robbie’s Inspiration – Tanka Tuesday and Sunday Stills #autumn #poetry #photography

I am scrapping in with this challenge today. I couldn’t think of anything to write about autumn. I was driving Michael to school this morning and the following kindly presented itself.

This is Melissa’s prompt:

For this week’s Tanka Tuesday Challenge, I’d like us to write Double Ennead poems. The Double Ennead is a form created by our very own Colleen Chesebro. Here is a description of the form:

The Double Ennead comprises five lines with a syllable count of 6/5/11/6/5, (33 SYLLABLES per stanza) 3 STANZAS EACH = 99 SYLLABLES, NO MORE, NO LESS! You can add rhyme schemes or not. Title this form.

Let’s write about the season we’re in, wherever we’re at; or you may write about a missed opportunity because of the weather.
