So this week, we have

Then a Cinquain:

And a Senryu, pure silliness!: Used Weird as a synonym for Eerie

Colleen’s poetry challenge gives us these words to play with:
Just a couple of takes…

Into that space in my heart

A space is filled with quiet

Colleen has added a new twist to her poetry challenge as it has entered its second year!
No longer just a Haiku, Tanka or Haibun, but she has added Senryu and Cinquain to the list too!
I have never written them before so I thought I’d have a go!
Hope I make sense!
The prompt words are:
Cinquain
Morning
Misty figures
Shaping, forming, floating
Chilly weather sparking winter
DawningRitu 2017
Senryu
A mist of perfume
Setting over your form
A scent so sensualRitu 2017
I replaced shape with form in the Senryu…. Hope you enjoyed!
