The 27th 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. That’s Haiku.
- Opposite meanings in the first and last sentences. That’s Haiku.
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:
Joy&Freedom
My Example
Take my joy away,
Then I will fight more fiercely,
To gain my freedom.
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.

Meredith, are you using the classic dashboard to create your posts or the new one where it’s just the post editor?

Classic. Not fond of new & improved??? Does it make a difference?

I read one place where it said if you use the new ping backs don’t always work. So I was just checking that. So I will move on to the next thing. 🙂

Nothing is ever perfect. I find some work and some don’t. Could this be applicable to the Peter principle?

I just posted a three verse haiku on Simplicity Lane, and the third verse was inspired by your challenge; however, I only used one word, ‘joy.’

Actually the Saudi Arabian blogger Raif Badawi and the events in Paris were the inspiration for the prompts this week.

Of course! But you didn’t mention that in your post. Looks like you accidentally left the inspiration from last week’s ‘Empty and Bedlam’ in there. No worries though, I’m sure no one else noticed 😉
