Here’s something I haven’t done in a very long while. I am participating in Colleen Chesebro’s weekly syllabic poetry challenge. This week she would have us either write a butterfly cinquain using color or take the synonyms only challenge for the words ‘crinkle’ and ‘peddle’.
I have attempted to double down on the challenge. The color I chose is a dreary gray, and I used the synonyms advance and proclaim for peddle and corrugated for crinkle.
Dawn seeps
Advanced by rain
Night washed wind combed comes day
Fish-monging gulls raucous proclaim
shoreline.
Fogged harbor corrugated gray
Spectral sails torn adrift
Raindrop prisms
Keep light.
I love your double take on the prompts. Well done, D π

I love your imagery, D. “Night washed wind” has great alliteration, and “Fogged harbor corrugated gray” is such a grand description. I could feel the fog close in on me when I read your poem. It’s lovely to see you here. I’ve got fun things planned for next year’s challenge. β€

Yikes. Planning next year already? It’s weeks away.
But I’ll keep an eye out for it, time does sneak up.

Our kitchen and first floor reno starts on December 3rd. We bought this older house with plans to renovate but with the supply issues it’s taken months to get cabinets and flooring. I’m trying to stay on top of the game, D. Ron fell down the stairs into the garage and broke his scapula about a month ago. It’s been busy and chaotic. I gotta plan when I can. LOL! β€

Ouch! I hope Ron is well on the mend and mending well. Good luck with it all.
