Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenges

#TANKATUESDAY #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 202, #SYNONYMSONLY

Colleen M. Chesebro

WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!

This week, Kat Myrman, from Like Mercury Colliding, selected the words:

Imagine & Gratitude

On the Monday before the next challenge, I’ll select a poem and share it on my blog as part of the Weekly Poetry Challenge Stars. Whoever I pick will choose the words for next month’s challenge!

For Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge, you can write your poem in the forms defined on the Poetry Challenge Cheat sheet below:

View Cheatsheet

Here are some sites that will help you write your poetry and count syllables

synonyms.com 

This site even has a link so you can install the extension on Google Chrome.

thesaurus.com

For Synonyms and Antonyms. When your word has too many syllables, find one that works.

writerlywords.com

Find out how many syllables each word has. I’ve been using this site to compose my poems. This site does the hard work for you. (howmanysyllables.com has malicious code on it. DO NOT use)

I don't get it

        1. LOL! I’m from Wisconsin. The heat is too much for me, Linda. When it’s 96 degrees at 5:30 am for a morning walk that’s too hot. There used to be seasons in AZ. We have friends there, too. And, the prices are reasonable. My hubby is 100% disabled vet. We pay no property taxes in MI, where we do here in AZ. ❤
