Labour
in gainful toil,
your coffers to enrich,
that when the weekend at last comes:
leisure.

Work to Play
syllabic
Sun-kissed Anew
vernal
the birthing season of the year
emerging emerald
sun-kissed, refreshed
anew
Padre
Change and Grow
life brings
many chances
to develop – adapt
I will do it later, after
my nap

With Envy Green
She
bitter,
her heart filled
with envy green.
Herself-deluded
by foul slights constructed
in the imagination.
A belittling conspiracy
perpetrated by others more skilled
to rob her of her due recognition.
Padre
Tanka Very Much
Gratitude expressed
“Humble” thanks to all extend
Perhaps it’s sincere
Is it persona and act?
Or is the expression fact?
Padre
Second Life
orange
purple and green
secondary colours
reflecting caterpillar’s life
renewed

Padre
Bloom
precurser pale pink
winter tortured bough adorned
seasons’ change erupts
harbinger of new promise
of the coming of the spring

Cuddle-in
Be calm
oh little one
it is time now to rest.
Cuddle-in now, don’t be distressed.
Sleep deep.
Padre
The Sphere
sunrise
and light’s increase
until midday zenith
then slow decrease – fading away
at dusk
Colleen’s challenge is to write a syllabic poem using only synonyms for Dawn & Twilight.

Street car
Left abandoned
Amid the blowing sands
Time capsule of an age and place
Distant
