Colleen’s Weekly Syllabic Poetry Challenge with two prompt words this week – but remember, you can’t use the words, just synonyms!

Too many changes An interruption of peace As the world digests Senseless advice has been given Are we just lambs to slaughter? Ritu 2020

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!

Treat every day as a gift
Unwrap new joy each morning

Jeez, he makes me laugh."
Though he implores, "Look closer.
Can't you see my hurt inside?"
