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

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

Written as a Nonet, my synonyms are Raw and Disturbance.


Such disturbance, I have never felt
Penetrating, my inner thoughts
Festering, this wound, bleeding
Revealing, my self-doubt
Seizing, the moment
Until at last
Defeated
I am
Raw

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
