As a tribute to the very first Haiku challenge, yes that would be #1 from one year ago. Below is a Retro look at what you would have seen then, prompt words and all, except for the image and the link information in red below the image. Five people participated in that first Haiku challenge, and although we now how over 40 poets each week, and not always the same ones, only one poet remains from that very first challenge to this day as a participant.
I want to thank Meredith of Meredith’s Musings for being there that first Challenge Week and being here today. I’m not certain how many she’s led to this challenge, but I appreciate everything she’s done. Love you Meredith! Expect to see her Haiku entry this week appear as a reblog here on Ronovan Writes.
And as a further honor for her loyalty here is the Image for this week.
Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge #52
The rules are simple.
- Take the two words and write a Haiku. I use Haiku in English as my style, but you can use what you like.
- The two words can be used as you like. Words have different definitions and you can use the definitions you like. You can even use a synonym word as long as it does not change the meaning.
- Copy a link to your finished haiku in a comment so we can all go and visit your site to see what you have done. I will comment on your site. You can do a pink back, put a link back to the prompt page, if you like within your post, as long as it does not take away from your haiku. I would do it at the very bottom near where one normally puts the copyright. But I am not encouraging anyone to do that. This is just permission to do so. This is simply a prompt and challenge to encourage people to try Haiku and give some a prompt and a place to share in comments so we can find each other.
- Ping back Linkhttps://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2015/07/06/ronovanwrites-weekly-haiku-poetry-prompt-challenge-52-silent-loud/
- Non Pingback Link https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/category/haiku-prompt-challenge/
- You may copy the badge appearing in this post and place it on your site if you wish. I am not saying you need to, but if you would like to do so then go ahead. It is simply my way of saying thank you for participating.
The Challenge Words! Finally!
Silent
Loud
My example:
You bring silence out,
Over the noise of the world’s moans,
Cacophonous dins ring.
As you can see I changed the words but kept their meanings. Enjoy the challenge and I look forward to seeing your Haiku.
Much Respect
Ronovan

Very impressed Ronovan with what you started with the Haiku Writing Challenge, a community of Poets & Writers & inspired minds, sharing a meaningful goal. To use words in a creative, serious and humorous manner, bringing insight and delight to the many who follow the Haiku.
Love that Meredith has pressed through every week of the #52 Challenges. That is dedication. I understand some of what she might be feeling. Now that I have caught the addiction, I hope to be here to face each week of two new words to ponder and mold into Haiku.
Thank you Ronovan & Meredith for keeping the voices raised in the 5-7-5 rhythm. Way to make life more intriguing. jk 😀 ❤
ps. A Whole Year in Haiku. Congratulations!

I realise now that I’ve got the prompt slightly wrong—Silence instead of Silent and Loud. Never mind, it’s maybe close enough and it was inadvertent, so here they are.

As long as the word used has the same meaning or close to it is all that matters. 🙂 As long as you use words and write, we’re all very happy to read whatever you offer.

Thanks! I like to use the exact words as it’s more of a challenge. Sometimes it makes a better poem to adapt though 🙂

I do as well. I come up with the words and then realize I have to at least write the example and think “What have I done?” 🙂 But I always keep the prompt words, even if they challenge me at times.

Thanks for this opportunity to try out haiku. For some reason I feel drawn to it..so I tried it. I ended up taking the synonym approach…felt uneasy about it and then said ”that’s what I came up with” and then I read your post about believing in yourself and it felt very serendipitous. 😊
