Sacred Ground #Tanka Tuesday


And this is why I LOVE D. Wallace Peach!

The soil is charmed, morning-cool, and damp from last nightโ€™s dew. Droplets of light embroider a roseโ€™s scarlet petals, and the zucchini by the stone wall lifts its giant green hands to catch the midsummer sun. Warmth drips like a fountain. The trees clap their leaves in approval. I donโ€™t wear gloves and my fingernails are caked with dirt. Today, Iโ€™ll plant another batch of wrinkled kale and buttery coreopsis. Iโ€™ll pick broccoli and make a bouquet of wild daisies to brighten my kitchen sill. The bees hum a symphony. As I brush my fingers on my jeans, the enchantment of the hallowed earth sustains me for another day.

Despair cannot bind
A spirit to hopelessness
A heart to darkness
When rooted in sacred ground
Consecrated by the Earth

You READ โ€“ but do you leave REVIEWS? – by Chris Graham (aka The Story Reading Ape)


Great post by Christopher Graham (The Story Reading Ape) on the reasons to leave a #bookreview. Thank you, Chris!

PLEASE

A stack of books and words Read - Review - RepeatIf not, why not?

I donโ€™t have time

The author probably spent a heck of a lot more time writing the story than you took to read it, no matter how slow you think you are, so why not take a few minutes to record your feelings about it.

I canโ€™t write long fancy reviews like those I see on book review blogs

You donโ€™t have to, Amazon, for example, only ask you to use a minimum of 25 non repeating words.

I canโ€™t express myself very well

No-one is asking you to produce a literary masterpiece, start off with things you liked, didnโ€™t like or a mix of both about the book, e.g.,

I liked this book because โ€“

it reminded me of โ€“

it made me think about โ€“

it made me so scared I couldnโ€™t sleep for โ€“

it made me feel homesick for โ€“

itโ€ฆ
