closets overflow
shoes, dresses and jewelry
must haves, impulse buys
space is tight, what can I do
make room for new trends, donate
The challenge this week for Tanka Tuesday is to focus on cleansing/purification. The poem I wrote looks at cleansing from a spatial standpoint. I used this definition as my guide to shape the poem for this week-to rid of something seen as unpleasant, unwanted or defiling.
Cleansing by way of removing clutter is wonderful. Donating all those things no longer needed or wanted, gives those items utility. A second life, if you will. Someone else can enjoy the items rather than throwing them away. Spatial freedom makes way for clarity.
Thank you, Yvette for the prompt this week. Also, thank you to all for stopping by to read. Stay well and be blessed💞

O’Nika, this is a fabulous tanka! I need to clean out my closet! Thanks for the inspiration! 😂
Colleen, thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words! 🙏🏽🙂And I know the closet thing is not the most fun thing to do. 😀
Decluttering is a great thing gives space and open view and perspective on things its like a clean vision or image in front of you nice work O’NIKA
Thank you, Louis! I see what you mean about “clean vision”. 🙏🏽🙌
Great poem, O’Nika! I declutter my house twice a year, especially my clothes. I reverse the hangers at the beginning of each year. When I wear the item, I put the hanger the regular way. At the end of the year, any hangers still in the reverse position (minus special occasion dresses or outfits) are reviewed and usually donated so that someone else can enjoy wearing them. It helps me declutter and release anything that no longer serves me. Thanks for participating this week!
