Colleen’s challenge for us this week are the words Cold and Storm. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as a Nonet, my synonyms are Raw and Disturbance.
Such disturbance, I have never felt
Penetrating, my inner thoughts
Festering, this wound, bleeding
Revealing, my self-doubt
Seizing, the moment
Until at last
Defeated
I am
Raw

Wow! This is a beautiful and powerful poem. I love the flow too, it gave it a sense of urgency. I have yet to write a nonet. You’ve inspired me to try it. 😀 xo

I love the descending style – a perfect fit for your theme. It is wonderful to navigate through the dreary descriptions, unearth a sprinkling of rhyme and to finally end with “I am / Raw”. Incredible!

Thanks so very much, Colleen! You already know the answer lol The form did show that it submitted to you, which it wasn’t before, but now I’m just floating in cyberspace. Hope you find me 🙂 ❤

Oh no!! Don’t do that. Tell WP to get it together. I wonder how many of us are not getting messages via the contact form. That would royally suck!!
