Variety is the spice of life
So they say
You just need an appetite
To taste all those experiences
And season your days
The best way for you

So that Colleen went and left us for a month to chase her NaNo dreams, but she didn’t leave us without… oh no, she left us a challenge and a half.
A list of prompt word pairs that she wants in poetic form, but as SYNONYMS, not the actual words!
So, this week, we have
Here’s a Cinquain

Children
Tiny copies
Needing, wanting, loving
Grateful for our progeny
Offspring

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!

Scent of comfort
Cookies baking in the oven

And a cinquain:

Comfort
Scented moments
Snuggling, cuddling, hugging
Closeness found within embraces

Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge! The Prompt Words are:
Here goes!
I need to mention a helper I had when penning these… Sonu Singh!
Sonu Singh the Muse!
First, a Haiku:
Trees looking eerie
Dark colours, partially clothed
This season’s costume
Ritu 2017
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
Ritu 2017
