Well we have rhyming words today which is always a hit with me for Ronovan’s weekly Haiku challenge
For some reason, the idea of quintuplets came to mind! Here is my attempt this week.
Being one of five
It can be hard to survive
but we have all thrived.
This weekend I’ve been very busy
Helping out on a great magazine
Writing a few wacky stories
Plus a few odds & sods in-between
So my blog has been rather neglected
I have not posted as much as I might
I am still catching up with some reading
Before I even decide what to write!
I love the great interaction
That I get from my blog family
Seeing what everyone’s up to
And sharing what is happening with me.
So it back to some blogging this evening
As I can’t bear to miss just one day
I know it sounds like addiction
But it’s better than cigs, anyway!
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 do
A sister is a Godsend
And lucky me to have two!
Although I have published this poem on my blog before, I decided it needed another airing!
The words this week for Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge are ‘think’ and ‘free.’ I thought I would use a pic of myself, older sister and niece dressed up in 70s gear for my sister’s 50th Birthday a few years ago.
Silliness is free:
Dressing up for a party
thinking we look great!
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!
A scorching hot summer, a handsome young couple
Their bodies glisten with sweat
Hair slicked back, damp from the sea
This beach is where they first met
She lies on her towel enjoying the sunshine
And gives a contented little sigh
He pours out some sunscreen into his hand
And starts smoothing it into her thigh
His circular movements get higher and higher
She is starting to react to his touch
As his hands start to wander
All over her body
She knows that she wants him so much.
He can stand it no longer, his passion is rising
He leads her by the hand to the sea
The cool of the water, does not cool their ardour
And they kiss more and more passionately
They have no one around them, and need to get closer
Each other’s bodies they crave
He removes her bikini and plunges inside her
As they rock to and fro with the waves.
Moaning with pleasure, they climb higher and higher
Until the apex they reach
Then sated and happy they return to the bar
And order A ‘Sex on the Beach!’
It is time for the wonderful weekly haiku challenge as set by Ronovan. The words we have to use are ‘future’ and ‘give’.
Here is my take for this week.
“Give me some silver;
Let me tell you your future.
Oooh, you are naughty!”
This week Ronovan has come up with some more challenging words for his weekly haiku prompt and has given us ‘gain’ and ‘hound,’ Tricky!
Here is my take on it.
You hound those birdies
When they drop some tasty crumbs
Their loss is your gain!
Although my Dad is sadly no longer with us, I wanted to write a little poem as my tribute to him, and all the other lovely dads on Father’s Day.
A Dad is always there for you
To protect, and keep you from harm
A Dad is there to dry your tears
And hold you in his arms.
A Dad is there to help you
When you wobble on your bike
As well as vet your partners
None of whom he likes!
A Dad loves to take his kids out
To the park or perhaps the beach
He is there to remove the spider
That has made you scream and screech!
A Dad is very precious
In so many different ways
Treasure each and every moment
Not just on Father’s Day
Today’s challenge by Ronovan is to include the words ‘inspire’ and ‘loss’.
This immediately made me think of my dad.
This is my attempt.
Dad, I mourn your loss
You will always inspire me
to be just like you.
