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!

We have had a bit of an Indian summer over here in the UK, and it is still pretty warm. In fact, Miss Hap and I went for a walk about an hour ago and came back roasting!
It is wonderful to see some roses in full bloom in the garden, and there are still some to follow.
I thought they deserved a Haiku in their honour.
October roses
beautiful and delicate
bring joy to my heart.
This week for TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge we are to use ‘teacup’. I took this photo at my sister’s house as she always makes an occasion out of it when she has visitors. In my house, you get a mug and like it, but hers you get a pretty cup and saucer and tea made in the teapot too!
So onto the haiku:
Glorious sunshine
sipping tea in the garden….
but where is the cake?
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.
I enjoyed having a go at TJs Household Haiku Challenge last week and seeing what others had come up with, so I thought I would have another go at it. This week the subject is ‘oil.’
Mmmm I love a roast
Chicken bathed in garlic oil –
Bagsy, the skin’s mine!
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 thought I would have a go at TJs Household Haiku Challenge this week as it seems a lot of fun.
Jumping on the scales
The figures climb rapidly
At my plump figure!
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!!
Yesterday was such a beautiful day. I went to a friend’s wedding with my sister.It was warm and sunny and we decided to get a few photos out in her garden before we went. Today after a bit of rain, it did clear up a bit, but as you can see from my garden photos, the sunflower is dead now. We are still getting visits from Tubs and his Mrs (they are perched on top of the fence) for now, but summer is fading away.
Last days of summer
final gasp of heat and warmth…
hard to say goodbye.
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)!!!
