It’s the last Tuesday of the month of November, so the last of Colleen’s Synonym challenges!
This week she left us with:
I found this pretty tough, to be honest! Really wanted to use the actual words!!!
But here’s a haiku ( used artistic license to add a syllable to the last line (naughty me!)

Gallivanting in
Forests strewn with fallen leaves
Cornucopia of joy
Ritu 2017
And a Senryu

A plethora of
Choice will sometimes encourage
Those pure hearts to stray

Lovely Ron’s prompt this week:
My haiku this week!

Old oak so strong with
Branches to house and protect
Heart of the forest
Ritu 2017
And a Senryu (ish!)

Look over the edge
Only the strong-willed succeed
My heart in my mouth!

So that Colleen went and left us for a month to chase her NaNo dreams, but she didn’t leave us without… oh no, she left us a challenge and a half.
A list of prompt word pairs that she wants in poetic form, but as SYNONYMS, not the actual words!
So, this week, we have
Here’s a Cinquain

Children
Tiny copies
Needing, wanting, loving
Grateful for our progeny
Offspring

Lovelt Ron’s prompt this week:
My haiku turned tanka this week!
Pixabay Image
Leaves overturned by
Feet stepping on broken twigs
Each snap a pleasure
The crackle of winter walks
Appreciating outside
Ritu 2017
And a Senryu

Broken hearts can heal
With a little tenderness
It’s never over

Colleen’s Poetry challenge this month includes words which we can’t use, but instead, in their place, we need to use synonyms!
This week we have:
Two for this week:
The first, neither a haiku nor a senryu, as it’s not about nature, nor love, but still, a 5/7/5 form!

Comfort
Scented moments
Snuggling, cuddling, hugging
Closeness found within embraces
