I am back, three Tuesdays in a row to take part in Colleen’s Syllabic poetry challenge!
This week, choose your own syllabic form and a color to feature in your syllabic poem. Think about the different ways you can use color in a poem.

Rainbow hued flowers
Give way to the russet golds
Of the autumn leaves
Nights are drawing in
Clear blue skies vie for their place
Against winter grey

I am back, two Tuesdays in a row to take part in Colleen’s Syllabic poetry challenge!
#ShareYourDay
It’s the fifth Tuesday of the month! #ShareYourDay is a way to get to know each other better. Take a photo and write a syllabic poem about your day. Don’t think on it too hard. Make it fun. The photo does not need to be a selfie. If you don’t have access to a camera, find an image on Pixabay.com (please add the credits) that best describes your day.

It’s been a while, but I thought I would take part in the syllabic poetry challenge, Colleen hosts every week! Sorry I have been gone so long, again, Sis!
Lessons from nature
Use the theme above to write your choice of syllabic poem. Your poem must include or be about a lesson from nature.

My photo(s) describe every day this week, during my holiday, as I write my End of Year Reports! A Senryu works perfectly!
Writing class reports Reminds me how much progress These children have made They've tested all my patience But earned a place in my heart Ritu 2022

Souls Traverse From body To higher plains Today you leave us I can feel you, above As you begin your journey Fly high, my darling Mamaji As you leave, you take a piece of me You may be gone, but never forgotten RItu 2021
This morning, at 5am, UK time, I will be attending the funeral of my beloved uncle, my Mamaji. This is dedicated to him. 🙏🏽💜
