Dew-soaked
Fine strands revealed
A camouflage no more
Now the flies can see what’s in store
A trap

Return
A homecoming
Wonderful reunion
Blessed time of loving communion
Restored
Padre
Winding
The footpath snakes
Through lands unfamiliar
Apprehension builds at each turn
Despair
Padre
Be calm
oh little one
it is time now to rest.
Cuddle-in now, don’t be distressed.
Sleep deep.
Padre
Breath held
Excited anticipation
Dreams that their team will win
They fill the stands
Trusting
Colleen’s syllabic challenge this week is to write a poem using synonyms for eager and hope. As sports often have reversals, I have gone with a reverse cinquain form.

Distant –
Sleep united
Nocturnal encounters
Of our souls and minds in repose
Dreams sweet
Colleen’s syllabic challenge is to write a poem with the themes of dreams.
Rain falls
On damp pavement
Night falls on city streets
Commuters scramble homeward-bound
To sleep
Padre
Tides turn
Ebb follows flow
The flotsam and jetsam
Intertwine and then float away
Cycle
Padre
Colleen’s syllabic challenge this week is to write a poem which uses synonyms for “mingle and drift.”
A deed
Done zealously
Trying always to please
I should have never dreamed he would
Thank me
Padre
Colleen’s syllabic challenge this week is to write a poem using synonyms for Imagine & Gratitude.
Lakeside
Amid bare trees
The water Autumn greets
Together in the year’s twilight
