Ronovan has been kind to us this week and given us ‘charm’ and ‘look’ as our prompt words for his weekly haiku challenge. He has asked that we try and make the two sentences oppose each other, which I always seem to find the trickiest part. However, this week, I think I have managed to do it!
Always being up for a challenge, I also decided to try out a ‘Freku’ as created by Ronovan. It is writing a free verse then a haiku afterward that sums it up. You can find out more about this if you click on the link above.
Here is my attempt on both this week.
The sun so bright and warming
The sky a brilliant blue
The land so green and luscious
There’s sheep on the hilltop too.
But this was not the height of summer
Nor the middle of July
It was in bleak midwinter
When I was driving by
Your Freku was as warm and inviting as the lovely photo that you’ve snapped. Well done, Judy!

Amazing Haiku and I totally feel this. The temperatures over here are raising again. For Saturday they predicted 19 °C.

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.
