Leaf 162 – Art Inspired

This tanka was originally
written and posted on Bluesky as a response to a #vssdaily poetry prompt to
write a poem incorporating the word ‘olive.’ For some reason, unknown to me,
the first thing that sprang to mind was an image of the ancient Greek poet,
Homer:
An old man sits unseeing
in the sacred olive grove,
telling tales of war and travel;
his voice seeing all, vividly
echoing down the ages still.
