#TankaTuesday Weekly #Poetry Challenge No. 288, #TasteTheRainbow Seasons

I am back, three Tuesdays in a row to take part in Colleen’s Syllabic poetry challenge!

This week, choose your own syllabic form and a color to feature in your syllabic poem. Think about the different ways you can use color in a poem.

Rainbow hued flowers
Give way to the russet golds
Of the autumn leaves

Nights are drawing in
Clear blue skies vie for their place
Against winter grey

#TankaTuesday Weekly #Poetry Challenge No. 287, 8/30/22, #ShareYourDay Back To School

I am back, two Tuesdays in a row to take part in Colleen’s Syllabic poetry challenge!

#ShareYourDay

It’s the fifth Tuesday of the month! #ShareYourDay is a way to get to know each other better. Take a photo and write a syllabic poem about your day. Don’t think on it too hard. Make it fun. The photo does not need to be a selfie. If you don’t have access to a camera, find an image on Pixabay.com (please add the credits) that best describes your day.

The bag is back out
It can only mean one thing
Back to school today
Summer holidays sped by
Time to start another year

#TankaTuesday Weekly #Poetry #ThemePrompt Challenge No. 286, 8/23/22, #LessonsFrom Nature

It’s been a while, but I thought I would take part in the syllabic poetry challenge, Colleen hosts every week! Sorry I have been gone so long, again, Sis!

Lessons from nature

Use the theme above to write your choice of syllabic poem. Your poem must include or be about a lesson from nature.

Today’s poem is inspired by this photo I took, last week
We should persevere
Mother Nature tells us so
Grow, no matter what
Difficulties will appear
Solutions come from within

My photo(s) describe every day this week, during my holiday, as I write my End of Year Reports! A Senryu works perfectly!

Writing class reports
Reminds me how much progress
These children have made
They've tested all my patience
But earned a place in my heart

#TankaTuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge: #Poet’s choice – Words

It has been a LONG while, since I wrote any poetry, but, I felt the need, today, and what better time to do do it, than when my sis, Colleen, has her Poet’s Choice challenge?

Words, all jumbled up
Swimming around in my mind
Stories to be told
The time has come, to allow
Tales to come to life, again
