Colleen’s Weekly Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge – Change & Defy
This week Colleen’s Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 99, the prompt words are “Change & Defy,” #SynonymsOnly
The cold in winter
calls the Mother Earth to shift,
holds energy, to
bring forth life and beauty
in the wake of sunny spring.

Colleen’s Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge “Love & Time”
The two prompt words for this week’s challenge are: “Love & Time,” #SynonymsOnly. I use Moment for Time and Passion for Love.

Head meets the heart
Ignites zealous passion
A journey of fulfillment just
Begins

End of Summer Poetry Contest
Please read this fun summer-theme poetry activity. You have a chance to win a prize. Submit by August 31, 2018.
Hello Everyone, it’s time to do this again!
Are you a poet? Do you enjoy writing poems until your heart is sore or until it soars?
I’ve held a poetry contest once before and I absolutely adored it! It was a blast and I got to meet tons of amazing poets and bloggers. For my current followers, you may have noticed an influx of poetry appearing on my own blog lately. What can I say, it’s simply flowing out of me! Anyhow, I am so excited to hold an “End of Summer Poetry Contest.” Unlike my first Poetry Contest, this contest is themed!
