A Rosy Vision – Butterfly Cinquain
Hello, I am writing this Butterfly Cinquain for the #TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge No. 257. The challenge is to write an ekphrastic poem for the below image:
So, here’s my cinquain:
Wishful
is her thinking
She dreams of a vision-
comfortable, rosy, and free
Albeit
the chains that bind her to the cage
she dreams of far-flung lands
where freedom is
alive
