I am really getting into writing these Haikus (if that is the correct plural). For Ronovan’s Challenge this week we have been given the words ‘time’ and ‘new.’
This is my attempt for this week.
A New Spring Outfit
Trees stripped and naked
Silent, seems frozen in time
Spring brings a new dress
A sister is a good friend
Who knows you very well
A sister is a confidante
To whom secrets you can tell
A sister is a shoulder
To cry on when you’re sad
A sister is a comfort
For when things turn out bad
A sister is a treasure
More precious than pure gold
A sister can be relied on
Whatever the future holds
A sister will support you
In all you say and so
A sister is a Godsend
And lucky me to have two!
Ronovan’s weekly prompt challenge is pretty tricky this week! The words to be used are ‘vie’ and ‘reach.’
The Elusive Moon.
The moon, so sexy
The stars vie for attention
She is out of reach!
Oooh I can’t wait for tomorrow
Time for lots of lovely treats
The bunny has been delivering
Yummy Easter eggs and sweets
It’s great to be with family
You rarely get to see
Playing games and having fun
It means the world to me
Pretty Easter decor
Brightly coloured bunting
Hiding eggs and leaving clues
For the kids to go treasure hunting!
Have a Happy Easter
Whatever you intend to do
I hope the Easter bunny
Leaves lots of treats for you!
I’ve got a little secret
That I need to share with you
I’ve decided to quit blogging
As I have too much to do
My work is getting busy
And I have no time to post
My friendly ‘blogging buddies’
Are what I’ll miss the most
I love the whole community
And the blogosphere is so cool
I wasn’t really serious
It was just an April Fool!
I really enjoyed my first attempt at at a Haiku last week, and some of the other entries that I checked out were brilliant! Thanks so much to Ronovan’s Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge #38
I thought I would have another go this week. The words to be used are ‘Ill’ and ‘rest.’
Here is my attempt entitled ‘Nymphomaniac.’
She yearned for a man
A blind date was ill-advised
Please give it a rest!
I try to use Social Networks
To talk about my blog
But being tech-illiterate
I’d have more luck plaiting fog!
Linked in is more like locked out
As I don’t know what to do
Twitter makes me bitter
As I haven’t got a clue!
Pinterest lost my interest
Many months ago
On Instagram I have no likes
Because I am so slow!
Facebook is my favourite
As I don’t get in a rage
It would make me very happy
If you would ‘like’ my Facebook page!
I am so pleased to have just reached 400 followers! I am beyond thrilled and have written a little poem to say thanks to you all
I really am so grateful
I am thrilled to share my news
That my blog is getting popular
And I’m getting lots more views!
Now, it is still only a youngster
And also very small
But to have 400 followers
Makes me feel 10 feet tall!
Since I started in September
I have met so many folks
I’ve read so many stories
And laughed at loads of jokes
Thank you all for reading
All my stories and my odes
I appreciate your kindness
Love, Edwina’s Episodes!
I recently received the following invitation from Author SB Mazing
I’m about to invite you to join in a challenge I recently accepted. Five Photos, Five Stories. I thought this challenge could present you with the opportunity of viewing blogging from a different angle, to do something different, anything that suits you for that matter. It’s entirely up to you. …
The Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge rules require you to post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or nonfiction, a poem or simply a short paragraph – it’s entirely up to you.
Today I am going to do another poem. My favourite flowers are roses (yellow ones especially). When I first moved in here, despite my lack of gardening skills I planted a few rose bushes. All of them were yellow and all scented. Over time I have lost some of them, but have planted others in different colours. The picture I’ve chosen was taken last summer, and is of some of my beautiful roses from the garden!
The rose’s delicate beauty
A wonder to behold
The petals, so exquisite
The colours soft and bold
The scent is all-pervading
Its sweetness fills the air
The fragrance soft and subtle
Is truly beyond compare.
My roses are so special
They always make me smile
They brighten up my front room
If only for a while!
I would like to invite Caitlin from The Teen Daydreamer to join in.
Then each day, nominate another blogger to carry on this challenge.
Accepting the challenge is entirely up to the person nominated, it is not a command. And actually everyone can join in. So feel free to if you like the idea.
I have been challenged to write a love poem in 10 sentences by Ritu over at But I Smile Anyway.
As I do love a poem (and a challenge) I have decided that I will accept.
What to I need to do?
The challenge is to write a poem about love and title it “Love in Ten Sentences.”
It must have 10 lines, each 4 words long.
Every line must contain the word “love.”
At the end of the poem, you must include a favourite quote about love.
Then challenge fifteen other bloggers.
Here is my attempt:
Love is a heartbeat
Love is a hand
Love is so empowering
Love is to understand
Love is a footprint
Love is a song
Love is a vigil
Love is so strong
Love is for you
Love pure and true
My favourite quote is:
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
My Challenge goes out to the following blogs (should they choose to accept it):Love is my husband
Love i
