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

To create a life, in which happiness abounds

A person must always strive to find balance

Much like a tree, its trunk, rooted to the ground

Working on your own solid foundation, is gallant

How can I even begin to thank all of you for bringing me to this milestone.  I am overwhelmed at the support I receive from this blogging community, and beyond.  When I started this journey a little over five years ago, I was thrilled when I had one follower.  I’m still trying to wrap my head around 3500!!

There were many times I have thought about giving up, packing it in and saying it was a fun ride (and I actually did except, my daughter wouldn’t have it), but your comments and likes are what keep me going.  The friendships I have made here, and around the social media circuits, are more than I could ever imagine.  You have touched my heart and soul, and I am humbled by your kindness!!

Again, thank you so, so very much!  ❤

With Much Love,
Dorinda

Never Settle~ #poetry #WOTD #FOWC

We shouldn’t acquiesce, about what the future holds

To resort to this feeling, leaves us unopened to change

Dare to challenge life, and as things start to unfold

Never, ever settle, for what you can always rearrange
