Colleen’s challenge for us this week are the words Mystery and Attract. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as a Cinquain, my synonyms are Confidence and Alluring.
The look
Is alluring
While catching you off guard
Tis the confidence he exudes
That chills

I didn’t get it, Dorinda. Here are the instructions again: Name = The name you want to show up in the recap
Name = (By default your name comes up) Delete your name and type in “Title of Poem & Type of Poem” Ex: “Starlight,” A Haiku
Website = (By default your main blog address comes up) Delete that address and copy, cut, & paste the Https:// link to your poetry post from your blog
Message = Your Poem
Don’t forget to hit the submit button. Quite a few people have not done that. Hope you are feeling better. ❤

I can? I did not know this. Still learning after 5 years. By the way, the form went through when I used Safari on my phone. They’re still working on the issue and will email me should they ever figure it out. Now it’s my turn to do the eyeroll LOL ❤

I’ve never used chrome, don’t like it. And Safari is a MAC product so that rules me out. We’ll see what happens next week when I try to submit lol

Do you use a Mac or PC? I can use Chrome so maybe I have to do that? I have no idea why it would matter to people using a submission form.
