Colleen’s Poetry challenge this month includes words which we can’t use, but instead, in their place, we need to use synonyms!
This week we have:
Two for this week:
The first, neither a haiku nor a senryu, as it’s not about nature, nor love, but still, a 5/7/5 form!

Scented moments
Snuggling, cuddling, hugging

I used Indian summer, and fall for autumn and farewell and foliage for leaves, within a tanka.
Indian summer
I bid you a fond farewell
For winter is here
The gold foliage of fall
Gives way to cold, bare winterRitu 2017

Colleen is away now for FIVE weeks, completing #NaNoWriMo… but she’s left her challenges for those weeks… here!
The twist is you have to use her words but as synonyms, not the actual words!
So this week, we have

Trees looking eerie
Dark colours, partially clothed

Then a Cinquain:

Eerie
Darkened costumes
Frightening, Haunting, Shocking
Swaying branches causing nightmares
Creepy
Ritu 2017
And a Senryu, pure silliness!: Used Weird as a synonym for Eerie

Seductive costume
Effect not quite what was planned
Less sexy more weird

Colleen’s poetry challenge gives us these words to play with:
Just a couple of takes…
Cinquain
Silence
Tranquil setting
Soothing, calming, hushing
Serenity in all spaces
Quiet
Ritu 2017
Senryu
Quietly he creeps
Into that space in my heart
Filling it with lust
Ritu 2017
Haiku
Without human ears
A space is filled with quiet
Until someone comes
