Colleen’s back with her synonym poetry challenge!

Myth & Write

First, a haiku;

That red sky at night
A fallacy of nature
Scribed as a delight

Ritu 2018

Then a cinquain;

Fable
Pencilled story
Rousing, moving, stirring
Words to inspire humanity
Legend

Ritu 2018

Finally, a tanka (as it is Tanka Tuesday!);

Drafting a letter
To allay your delusions
I lay myself bare
In my words find truth and pain
Find an olive branch proffered

Day twenty-three of #JusJoJan!

I’m going to try to write on each of the prompts!

Today the prompt is:

Your prompt for January 23rd 2018, brought to you by the kind, considerate and eloquently snarky Supernatural Snark, is “Colour.” Use it any way you’d like in your post. And make sure you visit Snark at her blog, “Supernatural Snark” to read her post and say hi! Here’s her link: https://supernaturalsnark.wordpress.com/

Colour

What colour is your soul?
Pure as the driven snow
Or dark as the shadows of the night?
Does it glow bright,
Like the morning light
Or is it dim
Like covert sin?
Is it a rainbow
Reflecting every hue?
A complete picture
That is truly you.

See you tomorrow!

The words to (not) use are:

Play & Guess

Pretend
Fancy roleplay
Acting, feeling, faking
Imagining I’m a star
Perform

I’m entertaining
Such imaginary thoughts
Do no good to me
Sometimes I overthink things
Making mountains of molehills

Ritu 2018

Faking feeling it
Imagining you hit it
Pretending pleasure

Day sixteen of #JusJoJan!

I’m going to try to write on each of the prompts!

Today the prompt is:

Your prompt for January 16th, 2018, brought to you by the multi-talented Cheryl, is “Contemplation.” Use it any way you’d like in your post. And make sure you visit Barb at her blog, “The Bag Lady” (sounds good to me!) to read her post and say hi! Here’s her link: https://rugby843.blog/

Thanks, Cheryl!

An acrostic poem for today!

Contemplation

Clear your mind
Om
Neutralise your thoughts
Take a deep breath
Exhale slowly
Meditate
Positive thoughts
Lifting away negativity
All-encompassing
Thinking
Introspection
Observation
New life starts now.

See you tomorrow!

The words to (not) use are:

From branches to the wet ground
Final resting-place

Planning, Stretching, Marking
Helping to fulfil ambitions

My inspiration
You lead me through the darkness
Aiming for the light
With your advice, I’ll reach
What’s written in my kismet
