Torn Notebook, 1 by Flowrbx
This tanka was written for two prompts – Monday Mural at Poefusion (which uses the above picture) and One Single Impression Prompt #32: Serendipity. Enjoy.

torn pages in the wind
a white bird lands in my palm
singing silent songs
in ink; I wanted a ride
instead, I found someone’s soul

“I wanted a ride”
I like what this implies.
