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

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.

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.

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 Ritu 2022

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 Ritu 2021
