Colleen’s Weekly #Poetry Tuesday #Haiku #Senryu #MicroPoetry – STARK & TRAP

There I was, thinking Colleen’s Synonym challenge would be done after her November Nano absence… but guess what… She’s only gone and decided that she’s keeping it up! So we will have two words now, that we can’t use, as we need to find synonyms instead! Thanks, Colleen!!

This week she’s given us :

Stark & Trap

So here’s a haiku

 

Rose, Bud, Rose In The Snow, Ice

Outsmarting nature
Beauty still blooms in the cold
Barren winter scapes

And a Senryu

 

Man, Woman, Dispute, Thoughtful

Lose your vacant look
In order to snare a man
Be your fiery self

    Love both of these, Sis. You certainly are not fazed by having to use synonyms instead of the prompt words 🙂

    LOL! You guys have gotten so good. I’ve got to challenge you somehow! Do you hate it or do you find a new depth of meaning to the words you choose? ❤ By the way both of your poems are quite lovely. ❤
