I am back, two Tuesdays in a row to take part in Colleen’s Syllabic poetry challenge!

#ShareYourDay

It’s the fifth Tuesday of the month! #ShareYourDay is a way to get to know each other better. Take a photo and write a syllabic poem about your day. Don’t think on it too hard. Make it fun. The photo does not need to be a selfie. If you don’t have access to a camera, find an image on Pixabay.com (please add the credits) that best describes your day.

The bag is back out
It can only mean one thing
Back to school today
Summer holidays sped by
Time to start another year

It’s been a while, but I thought I would take part in the syllabic poetry challenge, Colleen hosts every week! Sorry I have been gone so long, again, Sis!

Lessons from nature

Use the theme above to write your choice of syllabic poem. Your poem must include or be about a lesson from nature.
Colleen Chesebro

Today’s poem is inspired by this photo I took, last week

We should persevere
Mother Nature tells us so
Grow, no matter what
Difficulties will appear
Solutions come from within

Colleen’s Syllabic Poetry Prompt. It’s a theme prompt this week:

“Immortality”

Forever with us
Always in our hearts and thoughts
Never forgotten
Death may take people from us
Memories are immortal

Colleen’s Syllabic Poetry Challenge

Time to inject hues
In a world of black and white
Be that rainbow cheer
Choose colours to inspire you
And inspire others, too

Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge: (I went Tanka, though!)

Frost & Glint

Cold, frigid mornings
Frost glinting from blades of grass
Nature's facial mask
All visible surfaces
Encased in refreshing ice
