wild petunias cuts chase on
a frosty winter day
blossoming
in a reverie ,carries dawn
past icy sombre ray
frothing
yet as a dream connoisseur, she
takes wisps of wanderlust
buried
heavily in confinement’s quay
gathering strands of dust
harried
Poetry form :- Memento ( 8/6/2/8/6/2 syllables with a/b/c/a/b/c rhyme scheme)
Acknowledgements :- Thank you Colleen. M. Chesebro for hosting Tanka Tuesday # 304 , Ekphrastic Challenge, the above photo is the prompt. Thank you, Grace for hosting MTB at dVerse, where we were asked to either write a poem in Memento form or try free verse form with a theme about Mementos. Thank you all for stopping by and reading.
Captures the feeling of wanderlust that is trapped in confinement, the symbolism AND the form, you’ve done both. You rocked the prompt, Aishwarya ๐

Flowers in snow are most inspiring. The daffodils are often covered in early spring, yet they keep on blooming!
I love your last stanza of the petunias buried in confinement!

Your rhyme scheme was a bit surprising for me. I read yours as abc abc…def def.
I thought the rhyming should carry throught to both verses.
Muchโคlove
