I’ll be the lotus.
Rising up, grown from the mire,
In a world of barbs.
Instead of twisted anger,
I shall choose the face of peace.

Lotus, a Tanka Poem #poetry
Skip to content
The blog of Pamela Schloesser Canepa….reflections on writing, family, dogs, learning, books, and almost everything from mundane to weird.
Beautiful! Timely for our country, so much in need of peace! I pray for all of us to break down barriers which keep us from knowing one another and not trusting.
Thank you!
