How shall I dream
While the world awakens
Touched by sun’s luminous rays
Waterfalls flow, in misty white haze

How shall I dream
While the world is alive
Subtle soft breezes gather my cloth
Babbling brooks, covered with froth

How shall I Dream
While the world flourishes
Flora abounds, in delicate scents
Filling my senses, with lasting content

How shall I dream
While the world shows its beauty
Eyes open wide, like never before
Artistry captured, with gentle rapport

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only!  Her two words are Give and Shake.  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 Abandoning and Shudder.


As winter snow falls,

I shudder in the cold air,

Abandoning warmth.

Much like dear autumn’s last leaf,

Who dares to cling too tightly.

The sound of the ocean calls

And its creatures gather

To hear the mighty roar

Softly playing within

Only a whisper, crashing

Among the white capped waves

Do not misconstrue

Tigers, placidly laying

The wild is untamed

Good morning, friends. It’s been a busy week, and I’m exhausted, but raring to go! lol   Won’t you join me for a cup of tea or coffee, sit a while and chat?  🙂   If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: we actually got the snowstorm they predicted, though not really much snow.  Lys & I got caught in the worst part of it, visiting and having lunch with my Mom.  We were relieved when we finally made it home.  They were already beginning to close some of the roads because of the storm.  The one main road by my house always becomes so treacherous, it’s usually the first one shut down.  If you didn’t see my poem, “On Daydreams“, this is the picture of what it looked like out Mom’s window before we headed home. If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: now that Thanksgiving has passed, I can actually get some things done.  It’s December, so, Christmas is coming and so is Alyssa’s and my LuLaRoe launch party!  I’ve been busily painting the walls, next I’ll be decking the halls! LOL

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: no pups this week, which was fine because I had quite enough to keep me busy. Although, I admit, I miss them when I don’t walk them. If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: yesterday, we had our church WOW (Women of Worship) Christmas Fellowship luncheon.  There were about 80 of us, and it was wonderful.  Pastor Jan spoke of the “Comfort of Christmas.”  The food was delicious, and this is the beautiful (yummy chocolate) cake we all devoured! If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: we started putting our little boutique together for LuLaRoe.  Hubby’s been a huge help!  Definitely couldn’t have done it without him.  I’ll share pictures after we finish the whole thing!  🙂

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: today, after church, we are going to the Ringwood Manor for a Victorian Christmas. The manor is decorated beautifully for the holiday season.  Can’t wait to take pictures and share them with all of you!   ❤  

 

As for the week ahead: If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: I’ll be running in circles getting ready for next weekend.. Anyone care to decorate the house for me? lol

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: I get to walk Darty on Friday!!  Yay!  He’s such a sweet pup and definitely loves his tummy rubs.

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: it’s off to church I go! Busy day ahead.  Until next time, be well, and have a blessed week, my friends!  ❤
