Challenge #54
The rules are simple.
- Take the two words and write a Haiku. I use Haiku in English as my style, which is 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and three for the third, but you can use what you like. For syllable help visit HowManySyllables.com.
- 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. Go to Thesaurus.com for Synonym help.
- Copy the link of your finished haiku URL 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 ping back. What’s a ping back? Put a link back to this prompt page, if you like within your post, as long as it does not take away from your haiku. 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. A link in your post does give others a chance to find us and join in. Use one of the two below if you like.
- Ping back Link https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/ronovanwrites-weekly-haiku-poetry-prompt-challenge-54-free-think/
- Non Ping back Link https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/category/haiku-prompt-challenge/
- You may copy the badge/image appearing in this post and place it on your site if you wish, most normally use it within their post. 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. I sometimes make custom images for the week, if time and health permits.
The Challenge Words!
Free & Think
My example:
Sharing honest thoughts,
Is a sign of your courage,
Hiding your thinking?
As you can see I changed the words but kept their meanings. Enjoy the challenge and I look forward to seeing your Haiku.
Much Love, Success, and Respect
Ronovan

Hi, my contribution this time is a collection of 3 haikus with versions of the prompts included in each. The title and the link is Our Struggle with Nature (this is a fledgling html attempt so hopefully it works) 😅 Looking forward to reading everyone else’s creations. Ontheland (aka Janice)

I love your word choices this week Ronovan. Two of my favorite words, Free & Think. It was a blessing finding your Haiku Writing Challenge. How I arrived on your doorstep, I wish I could recall. Maybe it was just serendipity. An unknown guide led me here. I am so grateful. Thank you for what you do here. It is healing more than imaginable. jk 🙂

Hi Ron! Loved the Eleanor Roosevelt quote and your haiku. It does take courage to share your honest thoughts but it’s also very freeing. I read the prompt words several times this week to be sure I wouldn’t screw it up again. 😀 Here’s my contribution this week. http://wp.me/p3eYyj-133
