Roberta Writes – Tanka Tuesday and CFFC

#CFFC, photography, poetry, Tanka Tuesday 1 Minute

This is my poem for Willow’s Tanka Tuesday poem which you can read here: https://tankatuesday.com/2026/09/29/tanka-tuesday84-feelings-end-or-beginnings-9-29-26/

Spring

buds blooming, birds constructing, hadeda ahead – brooding

bright birds, colourful flowers, creating, spring kaleidoscope

shredded petals, beheaded flowers, weaver – most destructive!

CFFC

Dan’s challenge is to share pictures of places people work. I looked for photographs of work places that are very different from my own office. You can join in here: https://nofacilities.com/2026/09/28/where-what-when-we-work-cffc/

  5. Love your Sijo Robbie, the beautiful kaleidoscope of colour, petals destroyed by the Weaver bird – the irony of creation! I had to look up the Weaver bird as I hadn’t heard of them, how beautiful and such intricate nests…. 💞

  9. Lucky you Robbie heading into spring my favourite season. I love the sudden, chaotic shift from the vibrant beginning of spring to the messy realities of wildlife – great sijo 🙌

    And you’ve captured some fab work places too 👏
