Colleen Cheeseboro 2019 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 121, “Slow & Work,” #SynonymsOnly -The ploughman

Following the ox

in a cumbersome progress

over rough pastures,

he wears, but we share, the yoke

as from dawn to dusk we toil

    Neat. Though it is a skill, alas, now lost. 🙂

    We all toil with the yoke of our crazy government around our necks like a noose… sorry, that just spilled out! Well done, Bob. I enjoyed your take on the prompt words. ❤
