The 20th Haiku Prompt Challenge!
Badge provided by Me for this season.
For a refresher or how to write Haiku in English click here. But you can use whatever Haiku style you want to. As long as you, do a Haiku.
For Tips and Guidelines refreshers click here.
Something to keep in mind about a Haiku. Usually it is elemental in nature, but I don’t stick to that. There are two things I do like to see and they are; 1) Haiku that can be broken into two sentences with the middle line of the three lines being the commonly used part and 2) Opposite meanings in the first and last sentences.
Before you start!
I have links that will help you out. Remember for Haiku in English the total syllables are 5 for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the last. I don’t really hold people to that for this but if you want to do it in the 5/7/5 manner, the traditional way, then try that. One link I have for you is . . . howmanysyllables.com. Simply type in the word and find out how many syllables it has. Also for synonyms and antonyms go to thesaurus.com, I find it useful for finding a word to fit the meaning when syllables are not working out right.
This weeks two words to use in some form, meaning you can use another word that means the same thing are:
View & Revenge
My Example
I TEAR AT MY CHEST,
FOR REVENGE AGAINST DEATH’S HEART,
I VIEW HER NO MORE.
Do you have a Twitter Handle? Do I know it? Let me know!
DEADLINE: Noon on Sunday New York Time.
(I hate doing deadlines, but it takes quite a while to complete the rewind.)
There are now things called “A RONOVAN’S CHOICE!” which simply means a Haiku that either touched me or was a stand out Haiku in structure and meaning. Really each Haiku is a choice of mine so I feel a bit odd even having something called A RONOVAN’S CHOICE, but hey, it’s a thing, right?
Much respect
Ronovan

This can be applied in so many situations these days. A very good societal commentary. Excellent.
And Header Photo has been changed to something less scary in a way, depending on your application of it.

Hmm, or am I upside down and my computer is right side up while seeing your upside down camera shot of you right side up? Okay that was totally sad because if that were the case then I would be seeing your camera right side up instead of upside down. I hope people read this and start getting that dull pain between their eyes. 🙂
