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

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

A beautiful face
Can mask a grotesque nature
Be wary of looks
You think you're seeing one thing
Truth is something different

Except it’s the first Tuesday of the month which means
Poet’s Choice of Words – Shattered & Rejuvenating
This one is dedicated to me this week… so tired after looking after an ill child, multiple training courses, noisy animals, and a lot of broken sleep…
Tired
Can't wait
To lie down
And close my eyes
Head hitting pillow
Drifting into slumber
Hoping for a solid sleep
With no nasty interruptions
No cat mewling at me for his food
No children with raging temperatures
No husband needing my attention
Just me, snuggled up in my bed
Oblivious to the world
Refreshing my body
My mind and my soul
Ready to face
Anything
The world
Throws.

Lavishing my love
With a proposal so rare
He cannot say no
