The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. On you own blog, you may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. Then link your post to Helene’s original post. (Can be found at the bottom of my poem by clicking on What do you See?)

The delicate pieces of nature
Completing the puzzle of life
Bits torn to create anew
From bland to exquisite
An indistinct worm
Sleeps, awakens
Grace in flight
Flutters
Free

Nestled between two forest giants
Lies the tomb of a mighty king
Buried years before our birth
Is now empty, missing
The ruling monarch
A mere spirit
Gathering
Human
Souls
Who
Wander
As they seek
The shaded day
Escaping the sun
Under lush greenery
Unaware of the trap set
They fall, endlessly, to their death
Never finding their way home again

This week Colleen has challenged us with the words Follow and Lead! 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 Nonet, my synonyms are Pursue and Govern.

Let our thoughts govern our wildest dreams
Take us to places none can find
Through wilderness and portals
Imaginary doors
Unlocking our minds
As we pursue
Beautiful
And new
Paths

Colleen’s challenge for us this week are the words Cold and Storm. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Nonet, my synonyms are Raw and Disturbance.

Such disturbance, I have never felt
Penetrating, my inner thoughts
Festering, this wound, bleeding
Revealing, my self-doubt
Seizing, the moment
Until at last
Defeated
I am
Raw

Colleen’s challenge for us this week are the words Begin and Fresh. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Reverse Nonet, my synonyms are Create and Anew.

With
My words
I create
Feelings anew
Parts of my own soul
Entirely exposed
To unknown human beings
Who somehow find my poetry
Mirrored images of their own lives
