Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only!  Her two words are Spell and Treat.  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 Conjure & Hocus-pocus and Debate.


Hocus-pocus, watch!

I shall conjure the fairies

For your enjoyment

You cannot debate magic

When captivated, my dear

 

*A Tanka can be read both forwards and backwards…  😉

This week, Colleen challenges us with the words Origin and Write. Remember, synonyms only to write your poetry!!

Written as a Double Etheree, my synonyms are Connection and Record.


I
Record
My feelings
Until I sense
The true connection
To the words, now fated
On what was but a blank page
Of plain white emptiness; my soul
Once hidden behind the darkened ink
Escapes, to become this glorious light
A fire which I cannot extinguish
The one I wish never to be tamed
For my spirit breathes in the life
Born, to these withering hands
That still continue forth
Never backing down
Until at last
Depleted
I am
Spent

This week, Colleen challenges us with the words Game and Trouble. Remember, synonyms only to write your poetry!!

Written as a Reverse Etheree, my synonyms are Weak and Struggle.


Why do people assume they understand?
It is hard for me to comprehend
To struggle, with an unkind life
Yet, it does not make me weak
Nor will I claim defeat
I look solely for
Empathy, warmth
In, sometimes
A cruel
World

It’s the month of LOVE, and Colleen hasn’t let us down with her challenge!  This week, her words are Meaning and Passion. Remember, synonyms only!!

Written as a Etheree, my synonyms are Essence and Frenzy.


Our
Essence
Symbolic
Of love’s true heart
A beating rhythm
Racing to a frenzy
Until the excitement ebbs
Leaving us spent in a sweet bliss
And the moment lingers quietly
As we lie safely in each other’s arms

It’s the first challenge of February, and Colleen lets us pick our own words!  Synonyms are not necessary but I used them anyway. Keeping with the love theme, this week, my words are Arouse and Glow. Although I’ve used then in a different context.  😉

Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Awakened and Light.


Clouded skies part ways

When, at last, the morning breaks

And my sun shines high

Tis then I am awakened

By the glory of the light
