“Seven Chakras Sing,” the Sevenfold

Colleen M. Chesebro

This week for #TankaTuesday, we were to create a new syllabic form without using any of the Japanese syllabic forms. I created the sevenfold.

The word sevenfold is seven times as much in size, strength, number, or amount. It’s seven times as much; multiplied by seven; sevenfold.

The sevenfold is a seven-line stanza, with seven syllables in each line, for a total of 49 syllables per stanza (7 x 7 = 49). You can create as many stanzas as you desire.

"Seven Chakras Sing"

magical numbers repeat
universal patterns show
secret messages within...
the angel number seven
confirmation of wisdom 
given with love from above
while your seven chakras sing

move forward to accomplish 
this life's beloved mission
remove all self-doubts and fears
face hardships with bravery
embrace the spiritual 
strengthen your bond with kindness
fulfill your forever dreams
