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/2015/08/24/ronovanwrites-weekly-haiku-poetry-prompt-challenge-59-bird-red/
- 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!
Bird & Red
(Words by my boy “B”. He said it would be impossible.)
My example:
AS the sun burns RED,
Hearts RISE from their MISERY,
LIKE LOVE on BIRD wings.
The two sentences should read as;
As the sun burns red, hearts rise from their misery.
Hearts rise from their misery like love on bird wings.
Much Love, Success, and Respect

Thank you! I am not exactly happy with the last line but when one has a deadline one has a deadline. I still can’t believe my son went with Red and Bird. Well, actually I can. He’s just like that. 🙂

I looked at the words, bird & red, and thought, FTW*. Your son is a wild one & quite clever. There are words and Haiku for any of them. With patience, all will come eventually. As usual, I like to post my Haiku on Tuesday. So, see you all tomorrow. Checking out the gems so far & enjoying them. jk 😎
