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

A Simple Reason – #poetry – #JanuaryWriting

A simple reason was all she needed

To cover her face, and close her eyes

Sighing, with every ounce of her being

Realizing, this, was her final disguise

Staying well hidden, from the others

Who had intentions, for her, in mind

Men and women, alike, she had trusted

Most of them, she realized, quite unkind

Her only chance, at surviving this plight

Knowing nothing else mattered, you see

She simply would, disappear, in the night

Leaving nothing behind, but a mystery

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

Oh My!! – Thank YOU So Much! – 3500+ followers :)

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

Unrequited Love – #poetry – #JanuaryWriting

Where once was a door, is no longer there

Only bricks, and cracks, filled the space

I seem to remember, he, who lived here

Though I cannot, really, remember his face

Walking closer, I had to examine the wall

I really wished I weren’t so nearsighted

I, somehow, knew this wouldn’t be good

Then it hit me, twas a love, unrequited

In the blink of an eye, it had happened

The door that once was, had returned

He pulled me through, no way to go back

Tis what happens, when a lover is spurned
