The Challenge Words!
LIFE and View
SEASONAL BADGE
It’s a jaundiced view
From a life full of regret.
Let go of all that.

Welcome to the Décima Poetry Challenge. Each week we’ll be attempting a Décima, also known as an Espinela, poem.
If you don’t know how to write a Décima, click HERE to go to a post on How to Write an Espinela or Décima Poem.
You may, if you wish, make some kind of link between the Haiku Challenge prompt .Ebb and Flow and Sleep.
The two challenges are separate but can be combined if we choose to do so.
Tides of Madness
The tides of madness ebb and flow
Restlessness only calmed by sleep.
The waking hours make me weep.
Dark seasons like days of shadow.
Seeds of darkling around me grow.
Fears inside me grow and recede.
Monsters use my terror as feed.
Madness has me held as captive.
Rise and fall, trapped, no more to give.
Madness eats my soul and I bleed
The above painting is work of Dorothea Tanning it is called The Madness of Doors.

You may, if you wish, make some kind of link between the Haiku Challenge prompt of (FIRST & Heal). and ONE. I think these might work together with the right story idea.
The two challenges are separate but can be combined if YOU CHOOSE to do so.

FIRST & Heal
I adhere to rule number one
Above all else we must do no harm.
Alliences cause such alarm
To reach out until hate is gone
First together as in song.
The end of an era at last
To a new future let’s hold fast
Can we eradicate all sin
Can God’s patience heal from within .
Have we joined the devil’s repast.

Before we can heal
We have first to learn the truth
Bright new beginnings.

Ronovan chose the word EXHALE this week. Exhale, two syllables but you can use synonyms. Ronovan also said “You may, if you wish, make some kind of link between the Haiku Challenge prompt of (COLD & Fall). Mine is here. and EXHALE. I chose to use the words and theme from my Haiku and weave them in with the Décima prompt.
The waiting room a Décima
Escaping the chambers of time.
Froze, trapped in icy suspension.
We fall, full of good intention.
Who invented this plan divine
Within glass we hear hours chime.
Trying to ride the sand we fail
Caught in despair we just exhale.
To carry on is just futile
Satan watches us with a smile.
We to insucnificence pale.

It’s Monday again and time for Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Haiku Challenge.
Today’s words are Cold and Fall.
So, Frozen in time
Watching the sands of life fall
Trapped in the second

Ronovan chose the word FRIGHT this week.
You may, if you wish, make some kind of link between the Haiku Challenge prompt of (Bloom and. Wet) and Fright. They could work well together, depending on how macabre you wanted to get. The HIAKU challenge can be switched out with synonyms.
The two challenges are SEPARATE but CAN BE combined if YOU CHOOSE to do so.
Welcome to the Décima Poetry Challenge. Each week we’ll be attempting a Décima, also known as an Espinela, poem.
If you don’t know how to write a Décima, click HERE to go to a post on How to Write an Espinela or Décima Poem.
I choose to include the Haiku words as well.
Fright Night.
Darkness fell crashing into night.
Making a real fuss heo cried out
You have broken my foot no doubt.
So consienious, Fay the sprite
Working on spells to give a fright.
Her magic powers start to bloom
Under an orange witches moon.
The Vampires dancing in the dew
Gorging of blood to make them new.
Witches cast spells to make you swoon.

I looked at Ronovanwrite’s prompt for this week and was confused by the email. Being a bear of little brain I was not sure which were the two prompt words. So I have done two separate Haiku.
Challenge words
BLOOM & Wet
After morning dew
Pure crystals of water bloom
All is fresh and wet.
The Challenge Words!
GAZE & Touch
Infinite night sky
Gaze through light and glass fractals
Wish that we could touch

Ronovan our host chose the word FATE this week.
You may, if you wish, make some kind of link between the Haiku Challenge prompt of (DUST & Weed). and FATE.
The 2 CHALLENGES are SEPARATE but CAN BE combined if YOU CHOOSE to do so.
Welcome to the Décima Poetry Challenge. Each week we’ll be attempting a Décima, also known as an Espinela, poem.
If you don’t know how to write a Décima, click HERE to go to a post on How to Write an Espinela or Décima Poem.
I have combined my Haiku from Monday with the décima so my words to use are Dust, Weed and Fate.
The Awakening.
Who ever said that you own me
This worm has learned it’s not too late.
To change my life, no slave to fate.
You do not own me I am free
I am no more your property
Nevermore dust under your feet
Nor a weed for you to defeat.
No more am I your blank canvas
Cut and scraped for you to distress.
At last I’ve woken, up you see.
