The 23rd Haiku Prompt Challenge!
Badge provided by Me for this season.
Haiku is simple and simply addictive. So be warned now. Once you start it’s difficult to stop. Here are two things to know:
- Haiku can be broken into two sentences with the middle line of the three lines being the commonly used part, meaning 1&2 and 2&3 making sentences
- Opposite meanings in the first and last sentences.
For a full 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.
If you have a Twitter and your handle has not appeared in a ReCap of a previous challenge, please let me know what it is so when I Tweet the ReCap on Sundays I may include it.
This weeks two words to use in some form, meaning you can use another word that means the same thing are:
Night&Breathe
My Example
Nights are much too long,
Thinking of you from afar,
I Can barely breathe.
DEADLINE: Noon on Sunday New York Time.
(I hate doing deadlines, but it takes quite a while to complete the ReCap.)
There are TWO “A RONOVAN’S CHOICE!” recipients each week. One for Humor and one for something more Serious. The Haiku are quite good each week and I am having to turn to the structure guidelines of a Haiku at times to help determine my selection.
Really each Haiku is a choice of mine, and I’m not just saying that, so I feel a bit odd even having something called A RONOVAN’S CHOICE, but hey, it’s a thing, right? And it does make it kind of fun.
Much respect
Ronovan

With all the freezing winter air we’ve had lately here in the UK, this seemed an apt response to this week’s challenge! 🙂

mmm, just realised I’ve been writing them wrong, concentrating on syllable count and not sentence structure.

God Bless,

I wish that were true, but any business is due to you and David. And the Haiku challenge will be around for a long time. Unless someone boycotts it. 🙂 And then I will still do it.
