Colleen’s Weekly #Poetry Challenge – Synonyms Only – Beginning and Consume

Welcome back Colleen Chesebro, to the land of writing. We missed your poetry challenges while you were busy uprooting your life and moving to a new state. This week’s Poetry Challenge invites us to choose a form of poetry to write in and use synonyms only for the words ‘Beginning’ and ‘Consume’. I’ve chosen to write a double, backwards, Etheree.             The Truth Will Set You Free   It has been said – the truth will set us free It hides in plain sight in silent voice Our eyes divulge the unspoken Peeking out behind our tears Burning deep in our souls Distorted by lies Disguised in hate Etched in hearts Speak now Hope Not lost Light not dark Guides us to truth The awakening Beckons ears to listen No longer time for silence Time to evolve and comprehend Silence and hatred won’t save the world Take heed, lest we’re devoured by untruth     If you’d like to take part in Colleen’s weekly poetry challenge, visit her post for details.   ©DGKaye
