If you enjoy this challenge, you may want to check out my other Weekly Challenge, Friday Fiction with Ronovan Writes.
This week’s challenge has the writer using the first line of one of their favorite songs as the first line of their writing piece. Click HERE to check it out.
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.
- Use the Tag of Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge. This will help me find you in case you forget to ping back or leave your URL in the comments.
- 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 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.

The moment I received the prompt blindingly
shiny thoughts started swirling
in my mind.
I knew i had to write something and shiny
and who better to convey the sheer joy and beauty and glitz of life than a
child, the guardian angle of all life.
So here is what I penned.
Hope you like it.

Ronovan, I wanted to explain why I made a new sign for your Haiku Challenge. Though yours is a good design, it makes me see hallucinatory colors over the words and seems to blur for me. So I made one in Tribute to your offering of a Great site for all to gather in a community that feels more and more establish and grounded. A Village of sorts, bringing together those who strive to connect and to do their best to create as perfect a Haiku representative of the two word suggestions you offer. We seek out those words and try to make them our own guide. Each being taken on their own creative voyage. Thank you for the struggle you work through to contimue making us welcome. We are given a means of outreach otherwise would not exist in this fashion. Unique, the world and community you are creating. x jennifer
