It’s Tuesday Thursday, 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!
Soaring through the sky
Mesmerising formations
They're off for winter

Colleen’s Tanka Challenge:
Wishing life away
Is simply not an option
Grab it by the horns
Treat every day as a gift
Unwrap new joy each morning

"What a clown," they say
"Always pulling madcap stunts
Jeez, he makes me laugh."
Though he implores, "Look closer.
Can't you see my hurt inside?"

A
Message
Delivered
In a bottle
By nature's postman
Who's it for? Who's it from?
A cry for help? Love letter?
How long has this note been floating
On the surface of the ocean deep?
Time to open and reveal the secret

Never cut and dried
Life is never black and white
Many shades between
