There I was, thinking Colleen’s Synonym challenge would be done after her November Nano absence… but guess what… She’s only gone and decided that she’s keeping it up! So we will have two words now, that we can’t use, as we need to find synonyms instead! Thanks, Colleen!!
This week she’s given us :
So here’s a haiku

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!
