Colleen’s fabulous poetry challenge for this week, are the words Plan & Spend.  Remember, synonyms are a must!  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 Intention and Deplete.


Without intention,

My cause, will merely stagnate.

As others deplete,

I must rise above, strengthen,

The bond I have, with my Earth.

This Gibbon was just relaxing, watching his fellow monkeys scurry about. He had the right idea! It was a hot day.

He
Plotted
Against her
She, unaware
Was drawn into him
Demonic sources raged
As fires, aglow, flickered
Against the darkness of the night
Death was knocking, she, ignoring him
Would not let the devil lead her astray

 

June Writing Prompt – The plot was evil, but she had never even known – Day 26/30

Whisper in the silent night

Of promises, of morning light

Talk to me in tender tones

Caress my ever aching bones

With words that speak of thoughts anew

Ones that call to me, from you

To guide me through the darkest days

Quietly, in compassionate ways

Your understanding heart, so dear

You speak the words my soul can hear

Yes! Whisper to me in the night

Of promises, of hope, of light
