Hi everyone it is Tuesday and time for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday. This week I am going to answer Colleen’s challenge to try a new disapline. I am going to attempt a Sedoka. What is a Sedoka?
Ken, from Rivrvlogr shares a Sedoka, which is an unrhymed poem composed of two katauta. A katauta is able to standalone, with three lines and a syllable pattern of 5-7-7. A Sedoka therefore has the syllable count: 5-7-7, 5-7-7. Each katauta must be able to be read independently, but also create a cohesive singular work in the Sedoka.
Today’s words are from the lovey Sally Cronin and I must use them synonymously.
Eager and Hope.
Spring seems impatient
Ready to bust and blossom
Full of anticipation
Winter’s not done yet.
White her icy cloak folded
Any second to unfurl

Wednesday and it time for Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Déima challenge.
You may, if you wish, make some kind of link between the Haiku Challenge prompt of (BARE and Full). and this is my link from Monday. Challenge of SPRING in the A rhyme line. This means you could write a haiku post using the prompt words. Then do a Décima post using this week’s prompt uniting the two with a common message.
The two challanges are separatebut can be combined if we choose to do so.
Awaiting Spring. A Décima from the birds.
Berries are red, the birds sing
We’ll eat them all and have our fill
Needing full tums to beat the chill
Time is harsh twixt Winter and Spring.
Ground hard covered in icy bling.
Water frozen it turns to ice.
We strive on as with death we dice.
At night we huddle where we roost
Humans spread seed, our diets boost.
So we sing for them,to be nice.

This is part of Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Haiku Challenge.
Trees shiver limbs bare
Roots struggle in frozen ground
Winter’s in full flare.

Ronovan says : You may, if you wish, make some kind of link between the Haiku Challenge prompt of (ROUGH and Season) mine was a Tanka and it’s here.. and this Décima Challenge of CARE in the D rhyme line. This means you could write a haiku post using the prompt words. Then do a Décima post using this week’s prompt uniting the two with a common message.
The 2 challenges are separate but can be combined if you choose to do so.
As always I chose to combine.
Rough Season Décima.
Bitter chill as night and hush falls.
The hedgerows full of sleeping beasts.
That this season often defeats.
Tomorrow and the hunt still calls.
The loss of hungry beasts appalls.
Nature only keeps the strongest
Winter’s cold winds last the longest.
Rough her rules may the weak take care.
She forges onwards harsh but fair.
Until Spring blossoms newly pressed.
Winter Solstice.

Cold the winter, bare the trees
The berries are all long gone
Harsh the wind , the water set to freeze
Still, hush all around not even a bird’s song.
Expectant they wait, as they always do
For the flap of wings that brings the news
Frost in the morning and the evening too
Tempers fray and sort is the fuse.
Finally his wings are heard approaching
Excitement grows for the news he brings
He has seen the change encroaching
The dark has reached it’s length, he sings
The messenger, the lone black Raven
Tells them they have reached the Soltice
Rejoice and make your praise to heaven
The Light will now return, we can prepare the feast.
Time passages.

Cold
And dark
November
Has now arrived
Nights rent assunder
Loud, bright pyrotechnics
Days short of light, nights coal black
North winds, morning frosts, leaves flying
We watch the old year slowly dieing
Time’s fast passage whips us on to winter.

To day I am trying out a form of poetry new to me, the Florette. Check out my blog friends Florette poetry by Jane at Jane Dougherty Writes and Kat at Like Murcury Colliding.
The Florette is a two line poem consisting of six syllables which must rhyme as a poem and internally. So here goes.
Hubby took some videos of Ruby’s morning walk so let’s go with snow.
The Walk.
You don’t quite understand
Yet the touch and feel is grand.

The Weather
Bleak winter winds blow
Into Spring bringing snow.

Firstly, in the deep mid winter, climbing up that hill .
Dog in coat.
Frosty mornings

Dark afternoon
Wet afternoon
Sunny afternoons.
