Well I thought the prompt words were tricky last week, then I saw what Ron had given us for today’s Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt. I am cross with him as I have been wracking my poor brains to come up with something that is half-decent!
Anyway, on a separate note, congratulations Ron for smashing the NaNoWriMo challenge already and passing the 50 000 mark! That is brilliant, and of course, I am not jealous!!! 😉
So back to the Haiku. I was hoping to try to get a photo of the recent blood moon eclipse, but failed! This was before the actual eclipse as I missed the main event!
Craning my neck to
capture a golden moment….
I missed the eclipse!
Oh no! That only comes around, well, once in a blood moon, too!

You did well! It is 4am here in Japan, can’t sleep and can’t make a haiku out of those words either. Xx

I am having a truly wonderful time! Glad to be missing all the foul weather at home. Hot and humid here, which is partly why I’m not in the land of nod. I’m really looking forward to sharing more about the trip once I am reunited with my beloved laptop! Ron does enjoy making us think!

That started out with such optimism and then, BOOM!, a sad ending. I didn’t see it coming. I said out loud ‘Awww’, but now I giggle at my range of emotion over your Haiku. No worries, I am leaving your page happy as I arrived 😀

Ha, I went nature this week. I thought a bird and golden sunset would be easy pickings for everyone. 🙂 Plus I gave links to the synonyms. Crane has more than I ever imagined. And I don’t think I saw bird mentioned at all.

Oh, and thank you regarding NaNo. It helps to have a sleep disorder and an 11 year old son to be an inspiration. The story is from an idea he and I came up with a few years ago before my accident and I decided it was time to write that novel I always meant to. Something for him to always have once it’s completed.
And you are almost there. 🙂

I’m continuing NaNo. I’m using it to put the ‘scenes’ into chapter form and doing some editing and research. Using the energy and purpose of NaNo to focus on getting as much done as possible before all that writing support energy out there drops off.

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.
