Well, guess who had the honour of choosing this month’s prompt photo?
Me, that’s who! And I took it myself, as well!
Remember, it’s syllabic poetry that Colleen wants from us!
So, here’s the photo.
Two senryu for you you, 5/7/5, 3/5/3 and 2/3/2
I smile at the moon Peering through the eerie clouds Light, in my darkness Ritu 2020 Moon appears Through the eerie clouds My night light Ritu 2020 Moonbeams through the clouds my light Ritu 2020
And you can check out the challenge here.
But I Smile Anyway...

Hey Ritu, I am doing a poetry competition which will be posted tomorrow and would absolutely love it if you choose the topic, if you don’t mind, and encourage people to enter. I’m not forcing you or anything so you don’t have to but would love it if you did.
Your good friend,
Midnightlion ❤️

Unless you want a big thing, challenges are just that. Not a competition.
If you make it weekly, you can just name a top poet weekly, and, maybe share their work.
It’s your challenge. You decide 🙂

Here is a poem just for you❤️
Dear Ritu,
You are the spark of inspiration that glows in my heart
Your delightful posts give my mornings a start
How I admire you, your words, your ways
Your funny photos to cheer up my day
The kindness from you makes me smile
And I love reading your posts which stick in my brain files
Your words embrace me, like sunny weather
And you always reply back whenever
Even though I’m quite demanding on seeking out anwsers
You reply with gentleness, like twirling dancers
Sorry about the trouble you go through to post on Mondays
But I’m just typing this to simply say
Thank you Ritu for all you have done
And the comments that make me beam
And when the bell rings
I know it’s you
Coming to talk again
My dear friend, Ritu ❤️🤗
I hope you like it
