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

Colleen said: “Hello everyone. Happy October! My favorite month is finally here!! This week, choose your own syllabic form and a color to feature in your syllabic poem. Think about the different ways you can use color in a poem.”.
Well I love October too it’s my second most favourite month and Autumn is my favourite season. I have chosen to do an Autumn Tanka.
I smell grey Autumn.
My eyes see russet and gold
Pure white feathers fall
Mournful honk as geese depart.
Cold rustling in the north wind

Colleen is here with her prompt she said : “Hello everyone. Happy June and Pride Month! This week, choose a syllabic form and a colour to feature in your poem. If the form is from the #TankaTuesday cheat sheet, let us know so we know where to look for directions. If it’s a new form, share how to write it and where you found the instructions. Think about the different ways you can use colour in a poem.”

I have chosen a Sijo this week . Which 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
14-16 syllables per line
A total of 44-46 syllables for the entire poem.

So many layers of colour to the cake a profusion of love
Pride has more than one meaning, though all of them are valid
Whichever tune you march to be true to each other always
35 Words
46 Syllables.

WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!

Are you ready to choose some syllables to use in your poetry? Willow Willers (pist’ that’s me 😃) from last month’s challenge chose the two words for this month:
Twilight & Hue.

a dusky silver
somewhere between night and day
Shades of evening sway.

Linda,our host said : “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “color/colour.” Use it as a noun, a verb, or pick a color and write about it–use it any way you like. Have fun!”
Colour surrounds us, golden sunlight, silver moonlight, green fields and blue skies and seas. Nature is full of colour. Colour makes our lives we even describe our feelings in colour. When we see a rainbow we see it as magical.

Cinnamon yellow warm
Opal white cool and calm
Languishing purple of the soul
Orange burnished hot
Ultimately colours blend
Restoring beauty to our lives.

Below are two videos. The first one is an old advert for a colour TV. If you look through the fact it is an advert and listen to the words and look at the pictures it is beautiful. The song used is Sound And Vision by David Bowie.
The video below is an old one from 2002 by Darius Campbell. Colour Blind.
Have a happy and colourful weekend everyone 💜💜💜

Today is Day 23 of Just Jot it January and supernaturalsnark is responsible for our prompt.
Well thank you supernaturalsnark for picking : Colour as today’s prompt. Do go and visit their blog.
In these dark, dull and cold January days we need some colour and colour with warmth would be even better.
Colour can make such a difference to your day. What you wear, the colours of your rooms. Nature and life a keleidoscope of colour
Colour, Acrostic Poem.
Colour makes our day
Orange, yellow, red and blue
Lack luster blown away
Opens up horizons new
Un known depths of warmth
Rainbow hues to bathe in.
