This week’s #Poetry challenge at Colleen Chesebro’s blog – Synonyms only for the words ‘Plan‘ and ‘Spend‘. I’ve written a Haibun and Tanka.     WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY! Hi! I’m glad to see you here. Are you ready to write some syllabic poetry?     Here are your two words for this week: Plan & Spend   HERE’S THE CATCH: You can’t use the prompt words! SYNONYMS ONLY! Except for the first challenge of the month ~ then, the poets get to choose their own words. ❤   For Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge, you can write your poem in one of the forms defined below. Click on the links to learn about each form:   HAIKU IN ENGLISH SENRYU IN ENGLISH HAIGA TANKA IN ENGLISH HAIBUN IN ENGLISH CINQUAIN & the variations on Cinquain-Wikipedia ETHEREE NONET SHADORMA     The Border   My heart aches for the pain and suffering, and loss of life. What remains etched in my mind are the senseless deaths of many fleeing the only homes they’ve ever known, in hopes of asylum – only to find there isn’t any.   Beware the border A failing system of hope Yearning for freedom Human life squandered in search Where hopes and dreams go to die.   Visit Colleen’s post to learn how to join in! ©DGKaye
