the dull median
colour pallet’s compromise
neither black nor white
vague in its neutrality
mysterious shade of grey

Grey
#Tanka Tuesday
The Turtle
sandy shores behind
instinctively seaward bound
objective unclear
great distances to travel
until the beach to return
Padre
Work to Play
Labour
in gainful toil,
your coffers to enrich,
that when the weekend at last comes:
leisure.
Padre
Sun-kissed Anew
vernal
the birthing season of the year
emerging emerald
sun-kissed, refreshed
anew
Padre
Release
placid
reservoir smooth
kinetic force disguised
until awakened as torrents
released
Padre
Revealed
She stares
so knowingly
from the gallery wall
Seeing all our deepest secrets
revealed
Padre
Change and Grow
life brings
many chances
to develop – adapt
I will do it later, after
my nap
Padre
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
Hastily Wished
beware
wishes over hastily made
for the consequences
unfortunate
may prove
Padre
Use the theme above to write your choice of syllabic poem.
Second Life
orange
purple and green
secondary colours
reflecting caterpillar’s life
renewed
