Ronovan’s writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt #75 ‘Charm’ &’Look’ — December 14, 2015

Ronovan’s writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt #75 ‘Charm’ &’Look’

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

Ronovan’s Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt # 74 ‘Cake’ and ‘Wolf’

Now Ronovan’s prompt words of ‘cake’ and ‘wolf’ for this weeks Haiku challenge had me thinking it was going to be pretty easy. However, he is on to us and would prefer something a little less obvious. Hmmmm.

I have had to think ‘outside the box’ and have been at the thesaurus!

Here is what I ended up with!

Ronovan’s Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt #70 ‘Crane’ and ‘Gold’ — November 9, 2015

Ronovan’s Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt #70 ‘Crane’ and ‘Gold’

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!
