Interesting picture of a woman living in a cold country among cats and books.
Challenge accepted: pen, piano, sea, society, mosaic, breath.
Mosaic
A piano playing by itself on the high sea
its keys moved by the heavy breath of the wind.
Far from the maddening society
my pen surfs on the white paper
engendering mosaics.
Next challenge: wild, withered, song, summer, drums, future.

Enjoyed your synthesis!
Accepting the challenge: pottery, collage, sharp, elapse, bold, pace
Collage
Pieces of pottery
grace the old furniture
Vintage atmosphere
Life elapses at a bold pace
But time stands still
ignoring the scattered pieces
glued together
and the sharp contours of the frame.
New chalenge: cosmonaut, rendition, logic, wary, stealthy, frolicking.

Wonderful "Collage" !
Challenge: cosmonaut, rendition, logic, wary, stealthy, frolicking
Laika / a Triversen style poem
"Quiet and charming" Laika was the logical
choice of a trio of cosmonaut dogs to be
the first to orbit the earth in the name of science
Mushka was chosen to stay behind on earth
as the control dog with whom to compare
the mass of data received from cold space
Albina, as backup, had already ridden inside
a rocket, twice!, successfully recovered before
Laika's flight - which was sadly to be one way
Thus in the name of science Laika's nose was
affectionately kissed and she wished bon voyage
before her capsule was closed... then whoosh!
In retrospect Laika's heroic sacrifice in space
was deemed egregious - though yielding some
necessary science as a precursor for man's flight
This once wary and stealthy dog of the streets
in one rendition was last seen frolicking over
the rainbow bridge with quite the doggy tale to tell

edited out (S1): Of the dogs groomed to go into the beyond
Laika's phlegmatic demeanor put her a wet
nose ahead of her comrades Albina and Mushka

One canīt even imagine the anguish of such an animal lonely in a closed capsule in the space. Itīs not their choice! I like that the poem reflects about this. And I like the hopeful last strophe.
Challenge accepted, have to think a bit about it.
Next: beach, loop, asking, mystery, glass, parrot

"One canīt even imagine the anguish of such an animal lonely in a closed capsule in the space. Itīs not their choice!"... Agreed. In my research I read about many other animals in space research including one famous French kitty who survived her launch and re-entry only to... I'll leave it at that. Evidently we've evolved to where tardigrades are the current sacrifice of choice: "One small step for man... "

Next: beach, loop, asking, mystery, glass, parrot
A mystery
A wondrous beach
Surfers flying above the high waves
in ingenious loops
landing softly on the ever ruffled
surface of the sea.
But what has this to do
with the parrot that
discovered himself
in the looking glass
asking unanswerable questions?

Challenge:marsh, abstract, close, voyage, sanctuary, unleash
In March
In March the marsh in dry countries
is abstract.
In my country it is
i a dire reality when all storms
are unleashed.
One doesnīt want to come too close.
One prefers voyaging
to a santuary.
