I want to thank the people that visit the Challenge here and the Review as well. I would like to give the Top 5 Most Sites that ended up being visited from links on the Challenge. The number of visits by site originally appeared next to each blog below but I thought that was sharing information that was no one’s business but theirs and mine. And not really mine. As long as people are being visited, I’m good with it.
#5 (Several were within only a handful of visits/clicks of 5th.)
Sue Vincent of SCVincent.com
#4
Clarence Holm of PrairieChat.com
#3
Meredith & Martha of Meredith’s Musings
#2
Mira of They, You, and Me– plus her To Wear A Rainbow blog.

TJ Paris of La vie est trop courte pour boire du mauvais vin
Challenge #78
The Guidelines 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 5 for the third, but you can use what you like. The link above has links within it to articles about how to write Haibun, Tanka, and even a new form I created called Freku. You can also do the 3/5/3 form if you like. Write, share, and have fun. For syllable help visit HowManySyllables.com. (You would be surprised at how many syllables some words actually have.)
- 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. You can do a ping back. What’s a ping back? Put the URL link in the address bar of this post, if you like, within your post. Your inclusion of the link encourages others to try the challenges out, be creative, and join a community to find friends and more followers (hopefully). I honestly gain nothing by more people visiting the post. I don’t have ads running I get paid for by your visit. Click HERE for a detailed article on Ping Backs.
- You may copy one of the badges/images appearing in this post below or above 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 is currently BEGINS at 8 AM EST (New York City time) on Mondays. And a DEADLINE is Noon EST (New York City time) on the Sunday following the Challenge Post release.

This challenge brought me on a journey that I didn’t expect. I was going to use the words “Silence is golden” as my third line, but then my inner voice told me it was a memory from the past and maybe a song. I went to google it and there was it was. Haven’t heard that song in forever. Anyways… https://odaciuk.wordpress.com/2016/01/05/ronovan-writes-weekly-haiku-challenge-78-vast-and-clear-clarity/
