As she lifts the veil
Awakening morning’s light
Freedom is given
Her flocks fly hurriedly by
Before darkness reigns again

Looking, not for gloom
I must seek the rising sun
Casting eyes upward
Knowing, I will find the light;
Warm comfort in these dark times

As sunbeams caress
Awakening majesty
With auras of hope
Sunna softens midnight skies
Kissing the day good morning
Authors Note: Sunna is the Norse Goddess of the Sun, also known as Sól, though some hold that Sól is the mother and Sunna Her daughter. (www.thaliatook.com)

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only! Her two words are Give and Shake. Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge. Have fun!
Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Abandoning and Shudder.
As winter snow falls,
I shudder in the cold air,
Abandoning warmth.
Much like dear autumn’s last leaf,
Who dares to cling too tightly.

Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Conjure & Hocus-pocus and Debate.
Hocus-pocus, watch!
