Episode 412: Ronovan’s Writes; Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt #53: Guide and mad

We have got some great words to work with again this week from Ronovan for his weekly Haiku challenge.

This is what I have managed to come up with this week.

I guide my sweet peas;

I’m hoping they’re bountiful

I’m mad as they’re sparse!

Episode: 405: Ronovan’s Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge #52: Silent and Loud!

Firstly. congratulations and Happy Anniversary to the weekly haiku challenge set up by Ronovan.

I have really started getting into these and always look forward to Wednesdays!  We have ‘silent’ and ‘loud’ this week. There were several ways I could have gone with it but I settled on this in the end!

Any likeness to Mr Grump is purely deliberate!!

You sit in silence:

your expression speaks volumes

which is LOUD and clear!

When they drop some tasty crumbs

Their loss is your gain!

Episode 355. Ronovans Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt #47: Water & Bard.

Oh I do love Mondays when I can get to have a go at Ronovan’s  weekly Haiku Challenge. He has, however, given us some really tricky words to use this week, with ‘bard’ and ‘water.’ I do love a challenge though and have had a go.

A trickling waterfall hides
