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

Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Prompt:
It’s mid month, so we have a photo prompt this week.
A
World where
The ground just
Disappeared
Only safe creatures
Were the birds and the fish
Did you four legged creatures
Find help on Noah's wooden ark?
He promised to save two of each one
It rained for forty days and forty nights
Slowly clouds receded, the sun shone
Water began to go away
Lone dove bore an olive branch
The tops of trees were seen
The world was rid of
Evil people
At least for
A few
Years
