Colleen’s Weekly Syllabic challenge!
This week is a photo prompt that has been selected by Jude, from Tales Told Different.
Eyes gaze, wistfully Recalling moments of joy That time is gone, now... Wistful gaze Happy memories All gone now Gaze Memories Gone Ritu 2020
In this photo I saw a lover looking wistful, then, upon looking further, I could see a mound of earth… what is it? Is it a burial place, a shallow grave?

Time for Colleen’s syllabic poetry challenge!
Two words, this week, but the twist… you can’t use them! but you need to include them, as synonyms, instead!
I apologise… it is extremely silly. But I give you a video to demonstrate it too!
A Design In my mind Something special Something so stylish With elegant notions Yet, practical in its use A fashionable solution To curb the worries we have right now The Star Wars Boxeer Short Mask! Ritu 2020

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
