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! And only syllabic poetry!

Colleen’s Tanka Challenge:
Wishing life away
Is simply not an option
Grab it by the horns
Treat every day as a gift
Unwrap new joy each morning

"What a clown," they say
"Always pulling madcap stunts
Jeez, he makes me laugh."
Though he implores, "Look closer.
Can't you see my hurt inside?"

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

An alteration
In attitude will bring
About compassion
We all need to change the way
That we act and see the world
