She juggled her life
Made it fit into the day
Until, she ran out
Felled by wasted distractions
She squandered her existence

In a quaint little coffee shop, across the street
The town folk get together, to have a little treat
Every morning, like clockwork, they arrive at eight
To get their favorites, from a gal, they call her Kate
Now, let me tell you a bit, about this dear ole lady
Some folks say her coffee’s, tasting kind of shady
They claim it has a hint of peach, just a bit fruity
But Kate says no, it can’t be, blaming it on Judy!
The folks suspect, they’re in cahoots, those two
Even the tea was off, smelled like hazelnuts, eew!
Seems the lovely ladies, had been having some fun
Switching up the drinks, before the day was done
They began to laugh, thinking they had pulled a gem
Until the folks, tossed the drinks, right back at them

She is living proof
Animals know compassion
For she has taken
Another as her own true
Keeping it warm in the night
There is no struggle
Nor is there disparity
Where love conquers all

It’s the first challenge of February, and Colleen lets us pick our own words! Synonyms are not necessary but I used them anyway. Keeping with the love theme, this week, my words are Arouse and Glow. Although I’ve used then in a different context. 😉
Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Awakened and Light.
Clouded skies part ways
When, at last, the morning breaks
And my sun shines high
Tis then I am awakened
By the glory of the light

Colleen’s challenge for us this week are the words Slow and Work. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Reluctance and Endeavor.
To remain quiet
Shows reluctance, in myself
I must endeavor
To become a voice, be heard
And dare to be different
