This week’s challenge from Colleen Chesebro for her Weekly Tuesday Tanka Challenge is Synonyms Only. That means you have to select synonyms for the two words below. You can’t use the two words… instead, you must choose two synonyms for the words Colleen has given us and use them in your poem.
Here’s your two words:
I have chosen to write a Tanka using Altered and Flourish.
Altered images
if seen by true open minds
help lives to flourish.
This week I have used synonyms for the prompt words.
She reinvented herself, blooming like a tree in spring.
As a butterfly she re emerged, all colours of the rainbow
So different no one recognised her, full of nature’s new life.

He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.

Hi there! I’m here with your 24th prompt for Just Jot it January 2020. Today’s prompt comes to us compliments of Wendy. Thank you so much, Wendy! Please be sure to visit her blog to read her post and say hello. And follow her while you’re there!
Your prompt for JusJoJan January 24th, 2020, is “change.” Use the word “change” any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Well David Bowie, there was a guy who would regularly change his stage persona. At least ten times during his long and varied career he regularly reinvented himself.
Change for changes sake
He was himself never fake
He brought us such joy
Today it’s a poem of two sides. All I did was change two words for one in the top line and three words in the bottom line. What a difference that made.
A poem of two sides.
I put on my crown of thorn
And vow no more to mourn
The passing of my days
Lost in depression’s maze
New resolutions I will make
To smile and cope
Pretending it’s not fake
Farewell to joy farewell to hope.
***********
Remove my crown of thorn
And vow no more to mourn
The passing of my days
Lost in depression’s maze
New resolutions I will make
To smile and cope
Pretending it’s not fake
Farewell sadness welcome hope.

Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.
This is part of RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge. 110 Change and Mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Change for changes sake
Is always a big mistake
Mind you’re true not fake
Mind over matter
Change the rules watch them shatter
All mad as hatters
Stay with me he said
Change your mind and come to bed
Our future is dead.
Seasons come and seasons go but change is constant, it will go on
No matter how you rant, rave and struggle you won’t escape the throng
How we all think we can buck the trend, it can’t be done my friend
Try as you might you will get caught on the tread mill in the end!
The four seasons are full of beauty, each one a special delight
The joy of a crisp winter morning and the scent on a late summer night
Autumn afternoons bonfires smoke rising to a harvest moon.
Then Spring their little sister blossoming not a second too soon!
Seasons come and seasons go but change is constant life goes around
The mysteries of life are there for all of us all, miracles abound.
No matter how you rant, rave and struggle you won’t escape the throng
How we all think we can buck the trend, it can’t be done my friend
Try as you might you will get caught on the tread mill in the end!
