This week, write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to new coolness (shinryoo).
After the days heat
Breeze refreshes tired souls
The smell of Autumn
Temperatures are dropping
Happy relief for us all

This challenge explores Ekphrastic writing inspired by visual art (photographs). Lisa Thompson, from last month’s challenge, has provided the photo for this month’s challenge:
In these dark days I remember the saying my hubby often uses now about our leaders. Who try to keep us in the dark and give very mixed messages and ever changing information. I have chosen a Tanka to express my feelings.
Mushroom management.
Bright read for danger
Upwards pursuing the light
Escaping darkness.
Our lives are managed like this
Kept in the dark and fed shit.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “collar.” Use it as a verb, a noun, or metaphorically. Bonus points for using it in all three ways! Enjoy!
Now there’s the ambiguous Dog Collar, that can mean a collar for a dog or a colour for for a vicar or priest. So that is our noun.
Or we could go down the police line , so we would get a verb. To collar, to arrest someone for a criminal act, you can say you felt someone’s collar, that is also an arrest! Also the past tense ” he collared the suspect.
There is also the good old fashioned collar on, a shirt a dress a coat. That like the top paragraph is a noun.
And here a metaphorical Tanka.
Tight around her neck
Like a noose sapping her air
Her badge of office
At births, deaths and marriages
It was always on there on show.
I think that fulfills the prompt .
This silliness was brought to you for LindaGHill’s Saturday Stream of Consciousness.

Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 22 (BLEND) This week, it’s the A rhyme line. I have combined yesterday’s Haiku prompt, cup and sip.
Welcome to the Décima Poetry Challenge. Each week we’ll be attempting a Décima, also known as an Espinela, poem.
You and I, an eclectic blend
Take our essence inhale and sip
Your fingers make my senses flip
Gently aroused my desires bend
To your will, I crave the end
Erotic juices running free
Lips cup places they shouldn’t be
Every inch of our bodies steam
Climaxing as one we both scream
Bodies electric,our souls free.

WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!
This week, Annette Rochelle Aben selected the words for the syllables only challenge. That means you can’t use those two words. You must find synonyms to replace them. Fun, right?
This week I have chosen a haiku. I used ‘planted the thought’ for Hint and Brave for Bold.
Here are your two words:
Hint & Bold
You planted the thought
Made me strong within my soul
Brave whispers flourish.

Write the #Haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to remaining heat (zansho).
This is my Haiku for Frank ,Tassone’s Haikai prompt. It reminds me of our holiday in St Lucia a couple of years ago.
Dying embers glow
So many dreams blown away
Raking through the coals.

Scathing, like citus
His words like a vipers tongue
Antidote unknown
Rip my being from my chest
Plunging your sharp words deeply
