Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only!  Her two words are Grace and Style.  Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge.  Have fun!

Written as a Haiku, my synonyms are Exquisiteness and Formation.


Exquisiteness flies

Heading south, in formation

Wings spread, open, wide

I looked upon a rose, exquisite, in its own shell

Each petal resided, on its stem, in small space

And in a timely manner, in the garden, did dwell

So many a bloom, scented, ah, such elegant grace

 

Word of the Day – Exquisite
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Timely

I remember that day

The one where the sky sang

In shades of pink and blue

That day when clouds caressed

The setting sun, bathed

In a blanketed grace

When the world seemed so light

*

I remember that day

The one where the colors rang

In a glorious, pastel hue

That day when the sky was blessed

With a palette, and it painted

On a blank canvas in space

And the world seemed so right

I wrote this for my Mom, three years ago, for Mother’s Day, and I am sharing it again, because today, we are celebrating her 85th birthday!  Happy Birthday, Mom!!  Here’s to many more!  ❤

Years ago, that October day
I learned about true love
God sent me a guardian angel
My blessing from above

Guiding me along the path
She taught me how to live
With wisdom, grace and dignity
Giving all she had to give

And still this day
She shines her light
On all who gather round
I’m so very proud to call her Mom
My love for her abounds

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


A
Sentry
Vigilant
Over oceans
The guard of her realm
Her beauty marks the shore
Nothing comes close to her grace
As she sits, perched upon the rocks
While the mighty sea below her, bows
Knowing she is the queen of her domain
