A Chance of Rain ~ #poetry #RDP

The sky looked dismal, I expected it to rain

Of course, no umbrella, it’s always the same

But to my surprise, the rain never showed

Instead, white flakes fell, as beautiful snow

Generations ~ #etheree #PoetryChallenge

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

Over the Edge ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

Tags

He found himself standing on a bridge

Not quite sure of just how he got here

Something on the map must have changed

Perchance, its markings weren’t so clear

Shadows falling, as the sun begins to set

The azure sky, was fading, much to his dismay

Perhaps, he took a wrong turn somewhere

Or maybe he was meant to find this way

Trying to soak in the last of the warmth

Taking a deep breath, from up there, high

Thinking, for once, he’s on top of the world

He threw the map, over the edge, and sighed

Wooden Soldiers ~ #poetry #RDP

Dressed in dazzling uniforms, they march in perfect formation

Watch, as they begin the dance, creating an incredible sensation

Wooden Soldiers have come to life, can you imagine the surprise

Of little children, staring in awe, oh! The wonder in their eyes!!
