When in edit mode

Remember small victories

Never questioning

What is real or fantasy

It is who we are inside

This week, Colleen has given us the words Pleasant and Read as our challenge. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!  This is my Tanka, a bit more serious than the last, but still lighthearted! I used Delightful and Book.


Whisk yourself away

Into a delightful book

Seek out the places

Where imaginations live

And time really does stand still

With each stroke painted

A brush released its beauty

His palette of life

Beholden to the talent

He never truly discerned

Colleen has given us the words Afraid and Grave for this week’s challenge.   Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!  I used Catacombs and Frightened.   🙂


Buried deep in earth

Lie the catacombs of death

Apprehension dwells

Dare I seek absolution

Or be frightened evermore

Sunlight on the lake

Graces gray with a luster

Shimmering droplets

Dance with the rippling waters

Like fireflies in the night

 

RDP Monday: LUSTRE or LUSTER
