Colleen’s poetry challenge gives us these words to play with:
Just a couple of takes…
Cinquain
Silence
Tranquil setting
Soothing, calming, hushing
Serenity in all spaces
Quiet
Ritu 2017
Senryu
Quietly he creeps
Into that space in my heart
Filling it with lust
Ritu 2017
Haiku
Without human ears
A space is filled with quiet
Until someone comes
Ritu 2017

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!
