Colleen was kind enough to give us the words for this weeks challenge, even though she started her Yule break! Thank you, Colleen ❤ The words this week are Try and Life. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as a Nonet, my synonyms are Essence and Endeavor.
My essence is truly energy
An endeavor repeatedly
Fought for, an attempt to shine
In the darkest of times
Through my poetry
When only thoughts
Of the night
Consume
Me
