Welcome to our weekly poetry stars’ celebration. This week’s challenge was to write our choice of syllabic poem, using a form from the cheat sheet or a syllabic form from the Poetscollective.org, using the photo from David:

Thanks everyone for all the fabulous poetry. It was fun to see what everyone came up with. I found it hard not to write about Ukraine. Look at those cute little wooden dolls singing their hearts out.
Here’s a couple poems that really got my attention.
Ruth shares the reality of the war in Ukraine. This one grabs you in the heart! 💔
Lisa’s triolet also speaks of the horrors of war. 💔
I really enjoyed Balroop’s crown cinquain. She gave these dolls human personalities and they fit! It just goes to show how we all see different things in photos. That’s creativity.

What a great challenge, Colleen! Too bad I’m not a poet 🙂 My mother loved her Russian nesting dolls.

Thanks so much, Terri. That’s okay. Your photos will make you part of the challenge next year. Who knows, maybe you will be inspired to try some syllabic poetry. 💜
