This week’s challenge is Synonyms Only. That means you have to select synonyms for the two words below. You can’t use the two words… instead, you must choose two synonyms for the words I gave you and use them in your poem.

💡 Remember… this is a syllabic poetry challenge. If you write a freestyle poem, you must add a syllabic form (from the cheat sheet) to your post. 💡

Here’s your two words:
