How shall I dream
While the world awakens
Touched by sun’s luminous rays
Waterfalls flow, in misty white haze

How shall I dream
While the world is alive
Subtle soft breezes gather my cloth
Babbling brooks, covered with froth

How shall I Dream
While the world flourishes
Flora abounds, in delicate scents
Filling my senses, with lasting content

How shall I dream
While the world shows its beauty
Eyes open wide, like never before
Artistry captured, with gentle rapport

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

Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Abandoning and Shudder.


As winter snow falls,

I shudder in the cold air,

Abandoning warmth.

Much like dear autumn’s last leaf,

Who dares to cling too tightly.

The sound of the ocean calls

And its creatures gather

To hear the mighty roar

Softly playing within

Only a whisper, crashing

Among the white capped waves

Do not misconstrue

Tigers, placidly laying

The wild is untamed

Fight Another Day – #poetry of #life struggles

Exhausted, past the point of no return

Body aches and trembles, showing no concern

Everyday things, becoming cumbersome

By the end of the day, I’m nothing but numb

Pushing the limits, with no end in sight

Why is it, I never do, what it is that’s right?

Years of abuse, to myself, I have endured

Time and time again, my life, I have poured

Into an empty shell, trying to regain strength

Knowing in my heart, I would go to any length

To make myself better, than I was, yesterday

Trying to find the path, yet, still I go astray

Refusing to be defeated, by this human shell

Embattled, with the agony, of which, I never tell

Only I can resurrect the soul so deep inside

Else I’ll shrivel up, like a flower that has died

No, I’m not ready, not quite yet, to simply wilt away

I’ll be back tomorrow, just to fight another day!
