Colleen’s weekly prompt words:
Voice & Watch
A tanka today
Passing precious time
Watching old home cine films
Tears and laughter flow
Voices echo from the past
Stirring memories so sweetRitu 2017
One of the films we saw of my 4th birthday!

Colleen’s Poetry prompt words this week:
Stone & Turn
Medusa – A Tanka
Beware, one glance at
Medusa’s serpentine locks
Hypnotising hair
Just a moment’s glimpse – Fatal
Turned into stone foreverRitu 2017

TJ’s back with his haiku prompts:
Rain & Shiver
I went with a 3/5/3 Haiku first…

Leaves shiver
With the weight of rain
Drops fallingRitu 2017
Then a tanka

The rain falls in sheets
I’m wet and shivering
uncontrollably
Natures playing games again
Typical British summerRitu 2017
And the traditional 5/7/5 English haiku

A raindrop trickles
Sending shivers down my spine
Like your feathered touchRitu 2017

Colleen’s poetry challenge this week is using the words
Shadow & Light
Today I am incorporating a Tanka and a Haiku into a single poemy thing!
Never seeing light
Forever in the shadows
Feasting or darkness
Negativity can hurt
If you starve it of all light***
Keep your shadows small
Surrounding yourself with light
Make life positive
