A path

Of leaves and stones

Made for quiet moments

Serenely, with the lake’s beauty

Reflects

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only!  Her two words are Empty and Space.  Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge.  Have fun!

Written as a Cinquain, my synonyms are Desolate and Expanse.


Defiled

This vast expanse

So desolate, barren

Lays in waste, Mother Earth cries

Abuse

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  On your own blog, you may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you, then create a pingback to the original post..  More info can be found in the link below.


Spirit

Remains faceless

In a world so Godless

Praying for man’s absolution

Shattered

This Cinquain is inspired by a photo prompt from Susi at I Write Her.  I also wrote a Haiku for it, for Susi’s challenge, but actually wrote this piece first before it dawned on me that I wasn’t writing a Haiku, (which is Susi’s challenge!) LOL  A big thank you to Susi for the double inspiration!!  ❤


A wave

Taking over

Churning with the ocean

Swallowing the sunlit landscape

Imbibes

Our lives

Constant battles

In states of confusion

Much ado about everything

For naught
