I
Could stand
On the shore
Forevermore
Watching the sunset
My feet, in cool water
As I breathe in salty air
Letting it touch my soul, my core
Washing away, the hurt and sorrow
That, which has often left me, on the edge

#poetry, #tankatuesday, Colleen's Weekly Poetry Challenge, dorindaduclos.com, Etheree, family, flashbacks, memories, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry challenge, writing, yuletide. Christmas

It’s the beginning of a new month and you know what that means!!  Poet’s choice!  I chose the words Christmas and Flashback.  Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as an Etheree, my synonyms are Yuletide and Memories.


The
Yuletide
Spirit shines
Glows in our hearts
Brings us warmth within
Our home, filled to the brim
With love, family gathers
Exchanging hugs instead of gifts
Relating stories of days long past
Memories to share for generations

This week, Colleen has given us the words Cold and Safe as our challenge. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as an Etheree, I chose Chills and Protected.


He
Is one
With the night
Under the pitch
Talons reach upward
Protected by the moon
It calls to his hidden side
Sending wicked chills down his spine
This energizing spirit incites
And he breathes it all in, aware, alive

This week, Colleen has given us the words Celebrate and Number as our challenge. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as an Etheree, I chose Estimate and Ritual.


One
Seemly
Estimates
A timely span
On this living Earth
Unknowing where it ends
They often choose to reflect
Growing old, another birthday
With constant reminders from others
Who find the ritual more important

A
Bugler
Sadly blows
Musical strains
Of magic through brass
Plays a soldier’s lament
For those who battled for us
Triumphant, though many were not
He honors those who never came home
True heroes, on foreign soils, laid to rest
