Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge this week:
A little rumble
A ripple in your belly
Knowing what may come
Clenching, hoping to contain
Yet failing, as wind expells!

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!

A beautiful face
Can mask a grotesque nature
Be wary of looks
You think you're seeing one thing
Truth is something different

Colleen’s Tanka challenge, using synonyms only:
Constantly aware
The impact I have on kids
Feeding their knowledge
The power of a teacher
Helping children understand

I lie… it’s the beginning of the month so we have this as our prompt…
It’s the first of the month! Happy April! Choose your own words!
So, I have chosen spring and world.
Was feeling artistic so I decided to paint a picture to go with my Tanka, which makes it a bit of a Haiga too!
Video proof that I painted… taken by Lil Princess!
And the Haiga/Tanka

Spring has sprung
Flowers open their petals
And search for the sun
Blush pink blossons grace the trees
The world is waking once more

Colleen’s Poetry Challenge:

A beautiful dawn
I can hear the bird's chorus
The sun is shining
A perfect start to the day
Bringing a bounce to my step
