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.
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. ❤

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.
