Colleen’s Weekly #Poetry Challenge # 37 – SMOKE & VEIL #Tanka #micropoetry

The prompt words this week are smoke and veil. They fit in beautifully with a particular character in my book : Book 1 – The Curse of Time – The Bloodstone which I am currently formatting with a planned release date to be confirmed this August…

The particular character I have in mind looks a bit like the young man in the photo below…. I shall be doing a character interview post soon.

Hi. Welcome to my blog: M J Mallon - Kyrosmagica Publishing. A blog about magic, books, writing, laughter, and much more! I'm a YA fantasy author, poet and reviewer. My first YA fantasy novel The Curse of Time - Book 1 - Bloodstone is set in Cambridge and Book 2 - Golden Healer is now out too. As well as this, I have contributed to several anthologies, created my own with some amazing international writers, bloggers and creatives during the pandemic: This Is Lockdown and written two poetry collections: Lockdown Innit Poems About Absurdity & Mr. Sagittarius Poetry and Prose. I write book reviews on my blog and on Goodreads, book bub and on my bookstagram. I have a penchant for travel and have relatives in far flung places, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore, (my birthplace.) I grew up in in Bonnie Scotland, in Edinburgh, and now live in Cambridge. I love sunny, hot places, particularly Rome, Venice, Portugal, Barcelona, and I forgot to mention the sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, how could I? I am lucky to have been blessed with two lovely daughters and a husband who I fondly refer to in this blog as my black sheep. Family joke! With my passion for travel, culture, beautiful beaches, good food, books, theatre, writing, and humour, I hope to keep you entertained. I'm loving every minute of this creative journey, please join me.

    1. Yes, I really can’t see the appeal Denis. But, I’ve never been a smoker. Sadly, by the time they realise the damage of smoking they will be hooked. :Unfortunately m brother still smokes but my hubby gave up years ago after witnessing his dad’s battle with emphysema.

  7. Wow! Powerful tanka, Marje and wonderfully dark! Brilliantly descriptive in just a few words: ‘Like burnt rubbish, smoke and fear’ …terrific! The photograph matches perfectly and your daughter is very skilled in her art. Is this something she wants to take on further and work with?

    1. Thank you so much Annika. There will be a lot of Tanka in the book, so I’m glad you enjoyed this one, which I probably will use for promotional purposes. Georgina intends to further her photography and media studies at University level, so I am giving her every opportunity I can. She is helping me with character photos, my author photos and also will be working on a book trailer for me later on.
