In response to Colleen Chesebro’s weekly Tanka Tuesday challenge. Poets are allowed to choose their own words. I chose BEAUTY and SLAVE.
Her beauty
Ever her captor
She the slave
To her looks
Longing to truly be seen
Appreciated

In response to Colleen Chesebro’s #photoprompt this Tanka Tuesday, I submit this Shadorma. FOLLOW Colleen to stay in the loop of her weekly challenges.
Here is the photo we had to work with:

To control
Serpent tendencies
I sit here
Play music
To hypnotize the wicked
Risking my own life

I have hands
That you cannot shake
Need no gloves
Hold no coin
They’re always moving forward
Time slipping through them

Watching you
Watching the sunrise
Filled with hope
And questions
In awe of each day’s fresh start
Respect for your life

You should try
To pamper yourself
Pedicure
Manicure
And perhaps a glass of wine
Or simply sleep in
