Our memories are open portals to the past
Tidbits of our lives, kept in a photo book
How we long to go back to those yesterdays
Then we remember, all we need do, is look

This week, Colleen has given us the words Pleasant and Read as our challenge. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry! This is my Tanka, a bit more serious than the last, but still lighthearted! I used Delightful and Book.
Whisk yourself away
Into a delightful book
Seek out the places
Where imaginations live
And time really does stand still

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

Storm clouds of grey, pitch black, emerge
Then open up, with a thunderous surge
Icy cold droplets, against my skin
Looking up to the sky, I take it all in
Trying to count them, but they’re much too fast
These pennies from Heaven, gather, amass
Into puddles for jumping, no way I’ll abstain
Anyone watching, might think me insane
Dancing about, in the middle of the street
Clothes soaking wet, from my head to my feet
Ah, but who cares, just let the rains pour
I’ll simply stay here, waiting for more

Melancholy skies fill, with a tantalizing serum
Showers down, upon the inflorescence of life
Blossoming, as they drink in the sweet nectar
Quenching each thirst, with abundance so rife
The original poem was written in 2014. I have reworked it for this challenge.
