Frozen shards hang
Reflective prisms
Sparkling in sunlight’s glow
Blocking escape
Like bars on a cell

The air is heavy, as music fills the room
The loud sounds from the DJ, take up space
Holding her gaze briefly, but he dare not assume
He knew she could be, his one saving grace
She blushed, like petals of a rose bouquet
Watching him walk, across the crowded floor
Trying very hard, though, she couldn’t look away
She felt his stare, straight through, to her core
Afraid to do something, if he must confess
He bowed his head, in silent despair
Not sure what to say, so she would say yes
He quietly stood, next to this maiden, fair
Clearing his throat, gathering up his nerve
He simply asked her if she cared to dance
Graciously, accepting, with quite the verve
You never know, unless you take the chance
December Writing Prompt – Holding her gaze briefly from across the room, he knew… – Day 12/31

Take down from the attic, the strings of lights
Connect them together, to create a soft glow
Bask in the warmth, by the fireplace, tonight
While outside, the ground, is covered in snow

Colleen was kind enough to give us the words for this weeks challenge, even though she started her Yule break! Thank you, Colleen ❤ The words this week are Try and Life. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as a Nonet, my synonyms are Essence and Endeavor.
My essence is truly energy
An endeavor repeatedly
Fought for, an attempt to shine
In the darkest of times
Through my poetry
When only thoughts
Of the night
Consume
Me

Light, cast on the wooden bridge
Uneasy feelings, about to deprive
She, was in a hurry to cross over
He, merely wanted to stay alive
She called to him, to join her
He turned away, afraid to face
The destiny that surely awaited
That put them, there, in that place
She waited for him to answer
Only guttural sounds, from his voice
Hoping he’d turn back toward her
Knowing he had no other choice
The door to death, in front of them
The spirits came to collect, but who?
Lights swirled, merrily, only around him
The Fates come…
…and there’s nothing you can do.
December Writing Prompt – Destiny awaited, they had no other choice – Day 11/31
