I decided that I had to still take part in Ronovan’s weekly Haiku challenge despite trying to participate in NaNoWriMo as I would get withdrawal symptoms otherwise!
The prompt words actually gave me a hard time this week!
Anyway, here is what I made of it:
My mind is tortured;
Crashing, swirling thoughts break through;
A Haiku is born
This week I think the words are a little tricky! Ronovan has given us ‘pen’ and ‘muse’ to use for his Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt, and this is where I ended up with them!
Chewing on my pen,
musing over what to write…….
Don’t my nails look nice?
I am liking the words this week for Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge, which are ‘cheer’ and ‘call.’ I have taken a bit of a liberty with the ‘cheer’ part of the challenge and have taken it literally!
I decided that I would write my haiku about the changing colours of the trees in autumn.
Autumn pays a call
Yay, time for a new outfit!
Does orange suit me?
Well, Ronovan promised that he would be tough with the prompt words this week for his weekly haiku challenge, and he has certainly delivered! We have got ‘pine’ and ‘grief’ to work with. I was pretty stumped with these, but refuse to be beaten so here is my attempt:
Pines, brown and withered
baubles hang, shaped like tear drops
mourn Christmas passing
Oooh these challenges are getting more and more difficult as Ron gets meaner with the prompt words for his weekly Haiku Challenge. We have got ‘harp’ and ‘clear’ to contend with this week.
Here is my attempt:
Oh, stop harping on!
It’s your turn so get out there
and clear the windscreen!

Ron has really got me scratching my head this week to think of a suitable Haiku (actually, mine are never suitable) which uses ‘tide’ and ‘flesh’ for his weekly Haiku Poetry Challenge
This is what I came up with:
Heaving, at high tide
waves crashing and battering
Strips flesh from frail bones.
Ron was being pretty harsh with the prompt words this week for his weekly Haiku Challenge, however, I am ‘having a Judy moment’ and have found the perfect use (and image for them! So here is my take on ‘stag’ and ‘noise’
Typical stag Night
Strippers, booze women and noise…
Bride is furious!
I was going to go in a totally different direction with the prompt words this week for Ronovan’s weekly Haiku Challenge (you can probably guess from the words rahter than the picture)!
I settled on this instead though!
When eating curry
Take your time, start off slowly,
Things will soon get HOT!!
I love the prompt words this week for Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge of ‘tears’ and ‘wine’. Ronovan himself wrote a fantastic Haiku to go with it which you really should check out. In fact it is such fun participating in this challenge with all of the others, it is really worth having a go at.
Here is my attempt this week (bearing in mind I am now teetotal)!!!
Thank you to Ronovan for giving us ‘bird’ and ‘red’ for our prompt words this week on his Haiku Challenge.
I had some fun with this one, and this is what I came up with.
What makes me see red?
Launch me from a catapult,
I’m an Angry Bird!
