Mighty Oak
Nobel, steadfast oak,
Rooted in ancient wisdom,
Bields weaker wildlife –
This Celtic guardian stands,
To favour ferine balance.
(Tanka)

Inspired by Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday Challenge. Click through for the rules if you want to join in!
- This week’s challenge is to find out what type of tree you are based on Celtic Tree Astrology! Find your tree sign HERE.
- Then write a syllabic poem that incorporates your tree into the syllabic poem.
- Remember if you write a freestyle poem, please add a syllabic form also.
