My response to Jane Dougherty’s Poetry challenge #14: Take a favourite line
I have taken a line from ‘Blue’ by Joni Mitchell and incorporated it in a tanka:
Songs are like tattoos
Pricking at your tender skin
Begging to come in
And leave indelible stains:
Inky music on your soul

I love your interpretation of the line, Kim. I had to look up the original 🙂

Thanks. It’s hard to choose a favourite, though, because I love them all. Blue was the first one I bought, back in the day.
