Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge 1/2/2018 Ambition & Change – Synonyms Only
Per Colleen’s November challenge, I chose goals and pennies as my synonyms for ambition & change in this Tanka

Pennies in dryer
Talismans of yesterday
Fragments of my goalsCopper clinking memories
Exchanged for visions of gold-Clarence Holm

Is signaling finale
where fat ladies trill-Clarence Holm
