Fool’s Gold

Seeking her fortune

Drifting down the wayward path

Pennies for pleasure

chocolate needed

LOOSE & TIGHT (synonyms only)

an Abhanga

The shoes are just too big

The dress much too clingy

Her hair straight and stringy

Sucks to be her

Old Dog New Tricks

We were faced with using SQUARE and CIRCLE, so I chose TROGLODYTE and WHIRL.

The troglodyte thought

I’ll give it a whirl, why not

Learn to disco dance

integration

This week, Colleen Chesebro gave us the words, HARMONY & TRANSITION and we must use SYNONYMS ONLY. I chose REALIGNMENT & UNDERSTANDING for my TANKA.

For realignment

We must be understanding

As it’s not easy

Of course, it’s for our own good

We’ll be better for the work

Colleen Chesebro challenged us with using synonyms only for the words COMFORT and WORN. I chose to use FAMILIAR and FADES. Join us in the fun!

As I slip into

The familiar excuses

Their strength fades away

I am encouraged to change

To create a better life
