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 Belief and Joy.  Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Assume and Happiness, followed by Pleasure & Elation.  There are far too many synonyms for joy!!


We should not assume

Happiness is ours alone

But something to share

For to divvy such pleasure

Brings elation to mankind

She was both prim and quite improper

A beauty of questionable taste

Scooped up the gents, like a hopper

Did so, with incredible haste

She didn’t care what they thought of her

Glitz and glam, was all she needed

Still, they would always misconstrue

Didn’t matter, how much she pleaded

Left to her wiles, she found pleasure

In letting them have their free will

Merrily rejoicing, for winning the prize

Until she handed them the bill

In her thoughts, she could see only him

Hear the sound of his voice, a whisper

Sending shivers through her body

Her unassuming, unpretentious ways

Giving delight to his darkness

While deep inside of him, lurking

Where he found her most amusing

He would watch her from afar

Never close enough for her to feel

He was merely a distant pleasure

In the madness of her mind

When children giggle

Frolicking through autumn’s leaves

Joyous sounds echo

He showed up with a stogie

Some bourbon and a rose

He looked quite the catch

This he knew, I suppose

So I poured him a drink

Helped him light his cigar

Took the rose from his hands

And left him a scar

From the thorns he forgot

To remove ‘fore he came

Now he’ll never forget me

My pleasure, his pain
