From my journal

Besides having very high aspirations as a young writer, I also had an inflated belief in my abilities. I thought I was Creator level, with a capital C. Humility, and years, have brought me to understand that being a creator is a high enough calling, without believing I have to match the incomparable beauty that has been created and shared with all.

Synonym Challenge on #tankstuesday

I was given two words that I can only use synonyms for. I wrote a cinquain to meet the syllable challenge.

Uncoil 

Buds spin open 

Tender verdant hue 

That deepens when emerald leaves 

Return 

Thanks to Colleen M Chesebro. You can find the challenge, and the two words at www.wordcraftpoetry.com.

It would be fun if you made a guess at the two words and left a comment!
