Colleen’s challenge this week is Poet’s choice of words in a syllabic form of poetry. From me, a trio of senryu about getting moving, during this lockdown time…
A sedentry life This self isolation lark Need to get moving Easy choice, to sit To watch, to read, to consume But it's not healthy Find a reason to Move, be it inside or out For your sanity Ritu 2020

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

It’s Tuesday, and that means Colleen’s Tanka Challenge! Of course, just providing a couple of words would be far too simple, so we have two words, yes, but we can’t use them! Only synonyms allowed!
Our souls, synchronised Our hearts, ready for romance Our fingers, entwined Ritu 2020

Colleen’s Weekly Syllabic poetry Challenge!
It’s the first of the month and you know what that means! Poets, choose your own syllabic poetry form, theme, words, images, etc. It’s up to you!
I am going to attempt a Gogyohka today. This is a five line poem, with no syllabic count, so to speak, but each of the lines must be a phrase able to be said in a breath. The theme is unrestricted.
The nerves are flowing Butterflies fluttering Dreams fulfilled within a few days Will it be a success? Only time will tell Ritu 2020

It’s #TankaTuesday, everyone!
It’s the fourth week of the month, which means I’ll pick a theme for you to write about for this month. On the Monday before the next challenge, I’ll select someone to choose next month’s theme.
“The Circle of Life”
Life Begins With nothing Just a body But accumulates Many things over time Health, wealth, knowledge, family With time, it all disappears And what's left? A husk. Just a body So, as it begins, life ends with nothing. Ritu 2020
