Jules, of Jules Pens Some Gems selected your words for this week. Check out this amazing list of poetry forms on her blog!
Hawk
Moved in
Spiralling
Towards his pray
Mouse faced up to him.
Their eyes met silently
The rodent knew the cycle
Of life and the part would play
Straightening his shoulders he stood true.
Hawk extended his talons took his due
I have written an Etheree using synonyms for the prompt words.
If we were having coffee , every Sunday
Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.

Love the imagery, Sis!
Aug 11, 2020 @ 17:09:13
Thank you Sis 💜
Aug 11, 2020 @ 18:24:33
Wow, good one!! Reminds me of the many hawks and other birds of prey circling above us daily.
Aug 11, 2020 @ 18:27:34
Beautiful aren’t they 💜
Aug 11, 2020 @ 18:29:22
So majestic. I love watching them!
Aug 11, 2020 @ 20:20:35
Love hawks – and the pyramid is awesome!
Aug 11, 2020 @ 18:27:55
Thank you 😊💓
Aug 11, 2020 @ 21:18:13
Good stuff
Stay well and laugh
Aug 12, 2020 @ 05:16:16
Thank you 💜
Aug 11, 2020 @ 22:19:23
Nice, but poor mouse!
Aug 12, 2020 @ 05:14:48
Yes nature is cruel but it’s the cycle of life not nice but nesacessary . Thank you 💜
Aug 11, 2020 @ 23:45:41
Wow. Awesome and powerful, Willow. This gave me the shivers.
Aug 12, 2020 @ 05:12:54
Thank you, I had been watching the Red Kites the made me think of the Hawk and it’s prey💜
Aug 12, 2020 @ 04:42:00
Beautiful poem. What a great response to the challenge. 🙂
Aug 12, 2020 @ 05:00:21
Thank you I was watching the Red Kites circling above me all day, they made me think of the Hawk and his pray . 💜
Aug 12, 2020 @ 15:47:23
You picked a great example, and I liked your synonyms, too. I struggled to find synonyms that fit my story. My story was not as imaginative as yours. And your picture was perfect as well.
Aug 12, 2020 @ 16:45:07
Thank you Marsha sometimes poems just seem to pick and write themselves. I liked your story about the lobster pots on the beach I though the link between the father and son was perfect. 💜
Aug 12, 2020 @ 19:56:34
Thank you. That was one of those instances of it just writing itself.
Aug 12, 2020 @ 18:31:17
Those are always the best 💜
Aug 12, 2020 @ 23:52:52
It’s amazing really. 🙂
Aug 13, 2020 @ 04:40:37
Yes indeed we all write our best when we are inspired 😊
Aug 13, 2020 @ 17:57:01

Lovely poem. Liked it very much. 🙂

Thank you 😊

What? He didn’t even try to put up a fight?
Well done! 🙂
Aug 12, 2020 @ 09:44:34
No bless him his number was up 😂💜💜
Aug 12, 2020 @ 09:47:38
How lovely of him to give himself into the circle 😉
Aug 12, 2020 @ 10:18:41
Yes indeed but I don’t think he had much choice in the matter 💜
Aug 12, 2020 @ 10:49:10
This is true…🧡
Aug 12, 2020 @ 13:53:06
This is really good. But I feel sorry for the mouse, even though it is the circle of life in Nature.
Aug 12, 2020 @ 13:59:11
Yes I do too Nature is harsh 💜

Very quick ☺️
Aug 12, 2020 @ 20:50:56
Well done, Willow!! And, the circle of life continues. Great pick of synonyms! ❤
Aug 12, 2020 @ 20:50:43
Thank you Colleen 💜
Aug 13, 2020 @ 01:17:57
Poor little guy tried to be brave!
Aug 13, 2020 @ 04:39:40
Poor little chap he had no choice 💜

I really like this, Willow…. the mouse is accepting of the part he’s fated to play. Methinks there’s a good lesson there. ❣💞💓
Aug 14, 2020 @ 22:25:47
Yes one for all of us, we all hold our part 💜
Aug 15, 2020 @ 09:02:52
Beautifully composed

I finally got here today… and how appropriate as I watched a falcon have his lunch from my window this afternoon!
Aug 18, 2020 @ 20:43:42
Nature is harsh, you were privileged to witness the Falcon lunch at close quarters. Oh! I tried to visit your site but I was denied entry 😳💜
