This week, Sally Cronin provided our poetry challenge theme prompt. She selected, “the night sky.” What a fabulous theme!

Searching for Answers, #TankaProse Tonight, the sky is awash with dark featherlike clouds whose wispy edges obscure… Continue reading
Exactly! Most of my comments are now anonymous! I’ll tackle this issue tomorrow. -Colleen- in case I’m anonymous 🤣
I just had three days of pointless communication with the happiness engneers about these same problems. They claim no one…

Crafting Syllabic Poetry is my Ikigari 💜
One day, I stumbled across the Japanese word Ikigari. After some research, I discovered iki means life. In Japanese, Gai means worth or value. When these words combine, they form the definition of ikigari, which is life’s worth. It’s often translated or interpreted as a reason for getting up in the morning. So, yes, writing syllabic poetry is my ikigari.
I also believe writing syllabic poetry strengthens our writing skills. When we create poetry, we gain command of language; cultivate a healthy vocabulary, master literary devices such as metaphor, simile, alliteration, hyperbole, and allegory. We learn to work in imagery. We connect with our ikigari.
When I’m not writing poetry or crafting short stories, you’ll find me digging in my garden, or playing with my two unicorn cats, Chloe & Sophie. I live in East Lansing, Michigan with my husband—my soul mate. Most days you can find me writing poetry on wordcraftpoetry.com. 💜
To you, women are nothing but sheaths and vessels.
I am not a sheath, nor am I a vessel.
I am the blade and the death that terrifies you.
