After a lovely conversation with Hugh last night, he mentioned that he participated in Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge and encouraged me to have a go. Now I know what a Haiku is, kind of, but have never, ever had a go at writing one. However, I normally like to have a go at something new, so am happy to try my hand at a Haiku!
The ‘prompt words’ are ‘foul’ and ‘sweet’
His breath was so foul
after eating some garlic
He wanted a sweet.

Thanks Ritu! A huge compliment, I am just pleased that I managed to write a Haiku, as I didn’t think I could.

I knew you could do it Edwina, and not only that but you have come out with a brilliant haiku with a touch of humour to add to its sparkle.
I’m having chilli and garlic bread for dinner this evening, after reading your haiku.

You’re welcome. Look out for my haiku later in the week. I usually get mine in just before the deadline.

Oh I will for sure. I am also going to keep an eye out for the others too. I liked the one you did for ‘Field’ and beacon’ as I had already checked that one out! 🙂

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
