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!

It isn't simple
Judging someone's character
On a first meeting
Never judge a book, they say
By cover, more lies within

Colleen’s Tanka challenge, using synonyms only:
Constantly aware
The impact I have on kids
Feeding their knowledge
The power of a teacher
Helping children understand

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 twowords, yes, but we can’t use them! Only synonyms allowed!

Wherever you go
I will be your own shadow
I'll never leave you
Be my escort to the light
Show me how to live just right

Looking at the past
Recording every moment
Of my ancestry
Â
Scribing names of
Ancestors who shaped my life
Made me who I am
Forging connections
On paper, by pen, today
Lasting forever
