Sue’s #WritePhoto prompt:

Timeless fragments stand
As stationary sentries
They mark history

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!

A little senryu which is apt for Valentine’s Day!
Much more than a hint
Showing my feelings for you
Will you marry me?

Ronovan’s Weekly challenge!

I often wonder
What do the winds say to me
In their hastiness?

Sue’s #Writephoto prompt this week…

Sun Set
I love the orange hues
That take away the blues
Then soon the moon shines bright
And stars come out to play
I love the evening sky
Time to sit and ponder why
As you sit and hold me tight
There are no words to say
I love the setting sun
Just think of all the fun
That happens when the night
Takes over from the day

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! so we get to choose our own words this week!
Today I am writing a tribute to Christmas at school… In Double Etheree form, from the kid’s and the teacher’s perspective!

Awe
Wonder
Child-like glee
Decorations
Christmas lights twinkling
Upon a wonky tree
Handmade cards for family
Glitter strewn all over the floor
Ongoing nativity practices
Welcome to the classroom festive season!
Papework piling up, deadlines looming
Trying to teach hyperactive kids
Hungry for Santa and presents
Being the voice of thirty
As kids forget songs
Smiling inanely
Grateful for gifts
Thankful for
Term end
Peace
