This week Colleen has challenged us with the words Hobby and Play!  Synonyms are a must!  Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge.  Have fun!

Written as a Cinquain, my synonyms are Diversion and Dance.


To dance

Like the soft breeze

Puts a spring in your step

Creates diversion from the norm

Let loose!

Clouds
Squinting
Against sun
Paint a picture
Of light conquering
Where twilight turns the sky
A deep shade of blue, beaming
Nighttide rolls in where bright once was
Covering the day, shielding our eyes
Until the morning is aglow again

Your heart, taken on a leisurely stroll

Through meadows of scented blooms

Is sheer enjoyment, awaiting your soul

To clear out the haze, until life resumes

In a whirlwind of seconds

Never to return
