This week, Colleen has given us the words Pleasant and Read as our challenge. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry! I was feeling a bit silly today and wrote this etheree with fairy tales in mind, using charming and learn.   I promise a serious Tanka later today  😉


Prince
Charming
Was never
Really a prince
The ladies, aghast
Refusing to believe
How anyone could trick them
A lesson learned, never kiss frogs
Especially the ones in the moat
Who can dazzle with their delightful smiles

Light
Across
Barren lands
Empty branches
Reaching for the sky
Morning rises to meet
Its white puffy clouds, afloat
Softening the signs of sadness
Tethered here on this desolate earth
For which, I fear, there is no other choice

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


A
Sentry
Vigilant
Over oceans
The guard of her realm
Her beauty marks the shore
Nothing comes close to her grace
As she sits, perched upon the rocks
While the mighty sea below her, bows
Knowing she is the queen of her domain

For this week’s challenge, Colleen has chosen Ghost and Hollow as the prompts.  But there’s a catch!! #SynonymsOnly!  Rules can be found at the link below!  Have fun!


The
Spirits
Are restless
Tonight, they howl
With the wind, blowing
Like a banshee, screaming
Into space, they float away
Bringing them closer to nothing
They disappear in the emptiness
Spectral beings, ever lost, in the void

For this week’s challenge, Colleen has chosen Color and Creepy as the prompts.  But there’s a catch!! #SynonymsOnly!  Rules can be found at the link below!  Have fun!

Soon
Spirits
Will awaken
White, cloaked, alive
Halloween shows life
Eerily, they float near
Unearthly beings scheming
Awaiting the moment when you
Your guard down, allow them to enter
And the blood red of your face disappears
