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.
Nature’s bright colours:
A trickling waterfall hides
– Bard’s inspiration.
It is that time again when Ronovan sets us the week’s Haiku challenge. The words that we are to use this week are ‘pitch’ and ‘time’. I shall try not to lower the tone this time!
Here is my attempt:
Early Risers.
It is 4am:
Time for the starlings to sing
Their pitch is too high!
Its time for Ronovan’s weekly haiku challenge again and the words to incorporate this time are ‘charge’ and ‘lovers’. I like the sound of these!
Here is my attempt.
Love For Hire
“How much do you charge,
I’m in need of a lover?
Please say you are cheap! ”
Now the Election is over
I am feeling rather bereft
Apart from the Prime Minister
All of the other main leaders have left!
What a shock the results were
Poor old Lib Dems lost out
UKIP didn’t do a lot better
And Labour suffered a rout!
So Cleggy got his comeuppance
For going back on his word
UKIP’s voters were useless
And Labour’s chances absurd!
The Scots all put their foot down
And voted for their own SNP
Nicola Sturgeon is happy
To win every seat there, bar three
So British Politics are changing
At the moment only one thing is clear
That Dave Cameron is running the country
For the others it’s all ended in tears!
Well this week Ronovan is really making the Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt tricky by giving us ‘want’ and ‘tatters’ to use!
This is my go at it!
The sea is angry
The ship wrecked, and in tatters
For want of some peace
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!
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.
