It should never be a chore, to show kindness
You have the power, to create happiness
It’s so much easier when you remain affable
It’s the key to your dreams, your success!

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.
Ah, the festival of lights, to honor La Lune
He had waited to see them, soaring high
And the gods of the sky, all came to watch
Showing their presence, in an Earthly sky
One by one, the glow of the lanterns flew
From streets below, to the heavens above
With the planets dancing, as planets do
Once again, with the sky, he’d found his love
Gazing into the night, allowed him to dream
The possibilities were endless, he was sure
As long as the gods, were pleased with these gifts
Something, he always hoped, he had procured

They had no problem with thorns, ignoring them
It seems nothing bothers the rocks, on the ridge
Devouring the tasty succulents, each, one at a time
Was exquisite, nothing wasted, not even a smidge
Poor cacti, trying hard to escape the stone clutches
They would squiggle and squirm, but to no avail
Eventually, they simply gave up the brave fight
Losing the struggle, as the bigger rocks did inhale
When the smallest pebbles, had been fully sated
They began their tumble, down the mountainside
Grateful, at last, to be rid of those pesky boulders
The cacti, once again, could now safely abide…
January Writing Prompt – The pebbles devoured the succulents, one tasty morsel at a time – Day 18/31

Broken pieces, like splinters, are the shards we bear
We carry them around, within us, as if we didn’t care
Ah, but we do, although completely onerous, at times
These are the things about us that make us so sublime
FOWC with Fandango – Onerous
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Shard

Colleen’s challenge for us this week are the words Mystery and Attract. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as a Cinquain, my synonyms are Confidence and Alluring.
The look
Is alluring
While catching you off guard
Tis the confidence he exudes
That chills
