Welcome to this week’s poetry challenge stars! Jules picked some interesting words for us all to work with this week for our #SynonymsOnly challenge: Circled and Squared.
At first the words intimidated me… but not for long. Thesaurus.com listed plenty of words.
Circled synonyms: encircle, rotate, surround, loop, etc.
Squared synonyms: balance, fit in, jibe, fix, pay, buy, conform, etc.
Remember the idea behind the synonyms only challenge is not to use the prompt words. That is the challenge part. Search for synonyms on thesaurus.com to use in your poetry.
Thanks to everyone who took part! You did an outstanding job tackling those words. Here’s everyone who joined in courtesy of Mr. Linky:
I selected Annette Rochelle Aben to pick next month’s synonyms. I got a chuckle from her senryu. All the elements are there, irony, humor, and she chose an awkward moment in life making the human, not the world around them (the natural world) the subject of her poem. Excellent!
Congratulations, Annette Rochelle Aben, it’s your turn to pick the synonyms for next month’s #SynonymsOnly challenge. Please Email me your choice at tankatuesdaypoetry@gmail.com before next month’s challenge.

Good job by all!
Great fun this week. The words were really tough which resulted in great poetry!
Hey, that’s me! Thanks, Sis!! Got my thinking cap on. <3
Yay! I know you’ll make it fun! ❤️
I love “Old Dog, New Tricks”!
Isn’t that great? 😂
I loved Annette’s poem, Colleen. A lovely round-up.
It was great fun. Hope you got a smile. ❤️
Great pic Colleen, I love the word troglodyte! I hadn’t heard it for so long! Annette made me smile when I read this poem!
It’s a great poem. Troglodyte was even a name to a 70’s song, I believe! 😂 I loved disco!
Thanks to all that took up the challenge of ‘Circle and Squared’
I hope to visit you all eventually… I know I’ve stopped by some.
Great response to get 24 participants!!
Stay cool or warm depending on were you are!
Thanks, Jules. I thought the words were great. ❤️
Hi, Sis! I was very intimidated by these words! Thanks, Jude! 😉 That changed when I looked up the synonyms for them. Phew! Congratulations to Annette for being this week’s Star Poet! Have a great new week! <3 xo
I know, right? What’s I saw all the possibilities, it all came together. Happy new week, Sis. Have a good one. <3
Annette made me smile too! (K)
LOL! I’m so glad. I thought it was perfect. We needed a bit of humor this week, I think. 😀
Yes.
