Some STATS FROM 2015!
How many clicks to other Blogs from Ronovan Writes happened through the Haiku Challenge in 2015?
23,594
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 likeinstead of the 5/7/5 that I usually use. 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.

Thank you Ronovan. I wanted to start your fiction but was not sure we have to keep the sentence together or can piece it. I had in mind something but it works with splitting the sentence and is obsessing that way in my mind.

As long as you write is the main thing. I guess I didn’t specifically say it MUST be maintained as one sentence. 🙂

Thanks for the prompt Ronovan. I had a number of tries at this which made me cringe. Once I stopped trying to use ‘crystal’ literally, things got more interesting. I probably haven’t really interpreted ‘crystal’ as it should be, but hey- I was finally inspired, so I can live with breaking the ‘rules’!

Hi there Ronovan, I came here through “the secret keeper” blog. I thought he managed the challenge but eventually explained to me how it works. You got a great thing going on in this blog. Glad to be able to participate. Here is my first attempt at a Haiku with the two words you mentioned and the structure.
