THURSDAY DOORS WRITING CHALLENGE 2026









SHADORMA      3 5 3 3 7 5

        

tourists know
blue is for the boys
here the same
for the girls ?
maybe these are not rest rooms
the joy of travel

                                           

                                                    CINQUAIN  2 4 6 8 2


rich folks
like luxury
the amalfi coast line
provides that but some still like it
simple



                                   CINQUAIN 2 4 6 8 2

fashion 
conscious people
like to match the colours
of their front door to their cars yep
air heads

RESA PICTURE 1

many artists are quite poor
they can't afford canvases
so they paint on whatever
is available

RESA PICTURE 3

go away 
you're not welcome here
we don't like
visitors
especially burgulars
and debt collectors

MAUREEN PICTURE 1

mother in law's digs
picture tells a thousand words
it's  so obvious
why she does not visit them
a wagon speaks truth volumes


                                                TANKA  5 7 5 7 7



i loved  my first car
a white fiat 500
wish that was my home
lived in a share'd students house
never had a house like this

TEAGAN PICTURE 1

you have got to be joking
you expect me to get into 
a car without a chauffeur
how ridiculous

BUSHBOY PICTURE 1

 


pubs are
big down under
the aussies like to drink 
a beer or two or three or more
often

SUZETTE  PICTURE 1

good job
left over paint
comes in handy sometimes
whatever it is it's pretty 
in pink

YVETTE PICTURE 1

lovely
wooden old doors
one could say romantic
what secrets lie beyond them i
wonder

    Good one about the mother-in-law's digs! Syllables for doors -- a clever take on this.

  6. Great blending of images and your wonderful poetry brings them to life. Thank you for the mention of the Pink House...I love your poem there...what else could one do with leftover pink paint. I thought I commented earlier. Sorry for the late reply. Well done!
