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.
Majestically it stands there
Surveying all it sees
The winter branches barren
Devoid of lush green leaves.
****
Yet life is still within it
Just waiting for the spring
When its buds start blooming
And the birds begin to sing
****
In summer comes its glory
When it wears a party dress
Of several different colours
Its beauty outshines the rest
****
Then autumn comes a-calling
And it starts a slow striptease
The leaves are changing colour
And are dropping in the breeze
****
This is the work of nature
Of death and then re-birth
The barren and the beautiful
The treasures from the earth.
This is a poem I wrote some time ago, that I thought would fit the bill perfectly for my understanding of a vignette, the task for today’s Writing 101 course.
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!

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)!!!
I love the words we have been given by Ronovan this week, for his weekly Haiku challenge ‘bridge’ and ‘move’.
Here is my attempt:
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!
Thanks to the wonderful Ronovan for this week’s prompt words of ‘rise’ and ‘save.’ Mr Grump also contributed by giving me the subject as I was going to write this Haiku first:
“I need a pay rise”
“Forget it, you are fired!”
One way to save cash.
Instead, I have gone with this:
Thanks to the wonderful Ronovan for keeping his weekly Haiku poetry prompt challenge going despite having his own challenges to deal with, not least the technical ones that you can help with here
So. knowing the way my mind works, you can guess where I have gone with this one!
Hmmm, diet or bust?
I know I must lose some weight
I will miss my boobs!
Thanks to Ronovan for his lovely prompt words for his weekly Haiku Challenge. They are ‘luck” and ‘hope’ and this is my take on them.
‘When your luck runs out
Hope is all you have got left
So keep on trying.
