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

Written as a Cinquain, my synonyms are Confidence and Alluring.


The look

Is alluring

While catching you off guard

Tis the confidence he exudes

That chills

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

Colleen is back and it’s a New Year, and a new month and that means…Poet’s Choice!! My words this week are Fragile and Breeze.  Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Shadorma, my synonyms are Delicate and Wind.


Delicate
With colorful wings
Fluttering
Against wind
Swept away with the current
Returning in spring

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

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 Fly and Sing.  Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Soar and Serenade.


Gliding in the sky

A small bird does serenade

The tree it calls home

Soaring above the green leaves

Admiring from afar
