Connection; or Needs

A Garland Cinquain

Connect 
a human need 
can you give me a call 
we can talk shop, laugh, reminisce 
Connect 

Lunch date 
can we break bread 
let's grab some food, Cocktails  
top it with a cute umbrella 
Connect
 
Now that 
we are happy 
our being full of glee 
doesn't it feel good to get out 
Connect 

Life is 
a masquerade 
an excursion of sorts 
so full of possibilities 
Fickle 

We can 
complain and moan 
lock it in a chokehold
or show life what we came to do 
Flourish 
 
Connect 
can we break bread 
our being full of glee 
so full of possibilities 
Flourish

Connection; or Needs is a garland cinquain poem, written for the Tanka Tuesday challenge. Robbie is the host for this week, and she has asked us to write a story:

This week I am asking you to write a story poem that includes a beginning, middle and ending. Your poem should have a minimum of three stanzas but can have more if you prefer.

The story poem that I wrote is about the basic need of human connection. Just a simple telephone call or lunch get-together can be enough to fill that need. My first attempt at writing this style of poetry; apologies if it is not correct. I enjoyed experimenting and writing it, nonetheless.

Thank you for stopping by and spending time on my blog! 🙏🏽💖
