I have chosen to write an Abhanga in any number of 4-line stanzas with 6-6-6-4 syllables each. L2 and L3 rhyme. The end rhyme scheme is abbc. It is customary to title your poetry.
Nature’s Circle.
Past her best, beauty fades Edging her petals dark Still her presence to mark Her colour glows
Radiant in her youth She still outshines them all Her green leaves and stalk tall She bows her head
Nature has run it’s course She will whither and die Her scent through air will fly It’s nature’s way.
From the soil she has grown Nutured her and nurished Through summer she flourished. Life’s sweet circle
There was a bump in the corner of my mind and a voice said:”Guess who. It’s me! With your daily prompt. Today is our twenty-third prompt for Just Jot it January 2023, and it’s brought to us by Paula. Thanks so much, Paula! Please be sure to visit Paula’s blog to read her posts and say hello. And follow her while you’re there, if you’re not already.
Your prompt for JusJoJan January 23rd 2023, is “paintbrush.” Use the word “paintbrush” any way you’d like. Enjoy!
If you’d like to see what I have so far on your prompt list and what’s to come, you can find it HERE.“
Well its quite a while since I have picked up a paint brush either to decorate or create a piece of art.( I use that term loosely😊). I have lots of fun watching my grandsons paint and I have lots of their works of art. Anyway that is me for today.
Here is a great little song from Kenwrick Joseph (15 July 1952 – 2 January 2022), known professionally as Kenny J, was a Trinidad and Tobago calypsonian and Assistant Superintendent of Police who was best known for his soca parang hits including The Paint Brush..more information here.
If this doesn’t get you smiling and singing nothing will.

Flashes of gold skies There is blue hue all around Evening falls soft Winters hues touch deep the soul Frosty fingers spread magic.
Our host Colleen has set us out monthly Taste the Rainbow prompt as part of her Tuesday Tanka Challenge. I have chosen the colour purple. I have also chosen the poetic form Etheree.
From the depths of spirit comes purple prose. Magically from my mind it flows I never need to leave my home Imagination can roam . Spirited far away My inner thoughts play I close my eyes Hope flies Off to Play
Hello everyone this week our wonderful host and tutor for wordcraft and Tanka Tuesday Colleen said :
“This challenge explores Ekphrastic poetry, inspired by visual art or photographs. Lisa from TaoTalk, provided the photo for this month’s challenge:”
Lisa said she took this image at the Felt Mansion (western Michigan) in 2020. With Halloween just around the corner, the stark imagery in this photo sets a mood. Let’s see if you can capture the mood in your syllabic poetry. Use the photo as your inspiration!
This week I have chosen a Sijo. What is a Sijo?
The Sijo is a Korean form believed to have first been used in the fourteenth century. It is similar in structure to various Japanese forms such as Haiku. As with many forms of poetry, the Sijo became a preferred poetry form of the yangban or ruling class as well as royalty. They were written in Chinese and were originally short songs set to music. The focus of the Sijo is usually nature and contemplation. There are:Three Lines 14 to 16 syllables per line A total of 44 to 47 syllables for the entire poem.
Monochrome light plays upon the water reflecting grayish tones. Darkling mirrors merge above and below casting an illease. Nature also reflecting this too as Halloween draws near.
Chèvrefeuille says: “This haiku is the starting verse of the Troiku and is called “the sleigh”. As you maybe know the Troiku is based on the idea of the Russian Troika, a sleigh with three horses. To create “the horses”, you need to use every line of the starting haiku, to start a new haiku with.
Iam going to use Autumn as my muse because I love Autumn.
I am with 12 years of experience and ready to achieve any type of works such as, converting any form from JPG, PDF, ...etc into Excel,Word, PowerPoint and other editable forms, In addition to having a deep experience in inserting and managing data
