I want to mysa
in a comfy chair so close
to the blazing fire,
hear the crackling and see red,
orange, and yellow flames dance

Colleen Chesebro, the host of Tanka Tuesday, has asked us to use an uncommon fall word from a list on the Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge No. 33.
I chose the word Mysa: To engage in an activity that is comfortable and pleasurable, especially at home; being content and cozy.
OHHH! I want to mysa too! Weren’t these fun words? 👻
