Colleen’s 2019 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge #SynonymsOnly – Deception
COLLEEN’S 2019 WEEKLY #TANKA TUESDAY #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 135 #SYNONYMSONLY
for
Pretty & Ugly
HERE’S THE CATCH: You can’t use the prompt words! SYNONYMS ONLY! Except for the first challenge of the month ~ then, the poets get to choose their own words.
I’ve chosen to write a Double #Tanka
Deception
Disguised as promise
A chaotic clusterfuck
Beautifully concealed
Reality distorted
Hostility reigns rampant.
Suppressing the truth
Predator assumes applause
Undigested lies
Pandora’s present unleashed
Smorgasbord of hate revealed
If you’d like to join in the weekly poetry prompt challenge, please visit Colleen’s blog for the ‘rules’ and various forms of poetry.

Wow… so much passion in your words. Knowing you as I do, I would say this double Tanka helped you to let go of some pent-up anger at the “world’s political arena.” It’s all frustrating as hell, isn’t it? <3

You know me soooooooooooo well! And yes!!! Must release daily so the sickness doesn’t grow within. <3

There’s fire in those words, Debby. They haven’t come from a happy place. Your meaning is tangible.
