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.

Once pure clean air, now,

Billowing

Noxious clouds.

Man oversteps boundaries

Wasted, climates cease.
