Colleen’s Weekly Syllabic Poetry Challenge with two prompt words this week – but remember, you can’t use the words, just synonyms!
Transition & Harmony
Too many changes An interruption of peace As the world digests Senseless advice has been given Are we just lambs to slaughter? Ritu 2020
I think that this #CoronaVirus is really getting to me!

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
And you can check out the challenge here.

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
