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

It’s 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! Except it’s the first challenge of the month so Colleen allows poets to choose their own two words to use in a syllabic poem.
I chose to write an Etheree using Write & Story as they are apt for my personal challenge this month, to edit my story to as perfect as I can! #RiNoEdMo
Write
Edit
Create worlds
Use colourful
Imagination
To transport your reader
To a place they've never been
Just scribe a story so intense
The pages almost turn by themselves
Pulling readers deeper into your tale

It isn't simple
Judging someone's character
On a first meeting
Never judge a book, they say
By cover, more lies within

An alteration
In attitude will bring
About compassion
We all need to change the way
That we act and see the world

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. Actually, scrap that…
Colleen has decided that this mid month, we are getting a photo prompt!
This is home sweet home
Where the light on the doorstep
Shines a bright welcome
A place filled with memories
A house full of family
