Lightning strikes, fire
Invincible to water
Attempts to clear land
Authors Note: I wrote this after witnessing a nasty lightning storm, one in which we were stuck. The power of destruction is something to quiver at.

Colleen’s challenge for us this week are the words Slow and Work. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Reluctance and Endeavor.
To remain quiet
Shows reluctance, in myself
I must endeavor
To become a voice, be heard
And dare to be different

We dwell too long, on dreams, of the past
Hoping mere promises, will arrive, at last
And lead us to more, wait! What have we become?
Like ravenous dogs, we anger at some
Who dare not see the day, just as we do
Who look beyond, though there are few
They, who remind us, we must always endeavor
To keep looking forward…
…into tomorrow’s forever

Colleen was kind enough to give us the words for this weeks challenge, even though she started her Yule break! Thank you, Colleen ❤ The words this week are Try and Life. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as a Nonet, my synonyms are Essence and Endeavor.
My essence is truly energy
An endeavor repeatedly
Fought for, an attempt to shine
In the darkest of times
Through my poetry
When only thoughts
Of the night
Consume
Me
