Welcome to this weeks Haiku prompt challenge.

If you want to refresh yourselves on a bit of Haiku in English, although you do not have to stick to that particular style of Haiku, it’s just my particular style to use, click here.

For Tips and Guidelines refreshers click here.

This weeks two words to use in some form, meaning you can use another word that means the same thing are:

 

Flare & Shadow

 

Here is my example just to give you something to spark the thoughts if need be.

(A little bit of humor this week from me.)

Eyes burned like a flare,

She sent men to flee and crawl,

Into the shadows.

 

Be sure to put a link to your Haiku in the comments below so we can all go check them out. I’ll comment and also choose the ones that knock me down for one reason or the other and link back to them in my Weekly Rewind telling people how great they were and why I picked them. Eventually these will turn into categories.

Much respect

REWIND #5

The prompt words were Cold & Heat.

 

Thank you to each person that participated. I greatly enjoyed seeing the results. Reading them makes me want to push myself a little more in my own Haiku.

Cyril of Cyril Busierre : Cyril wrote a poem about me. No not really, but a very interesting contrast this week. Just go read it.

Florence T of Rambling On : Captures what so many of us go through. How she got a picture of my hands I will never know.

Hugh of  Hugh’s Views & News :

At last it happened,

In the hot flames of  Hades,

Hell has froze over.

Hugh wrote a poem, did it correctly, and it is great!

Silver Threading : I have to say that this was a wake me up poem. The imagery was excellent. I had to restrain myself from writing one back.

Faith Unlocked : One word–Dragons!

 

 

Each week it seems like the Haiku keep getting better. It shows that keeping at it does make for better work. The imagery is just getting so great. Silver Threading has me wanting to write love letters now. (sigh)

REWIND #4

The prompt words were Acceptance & Rejection.

 

Thank you to each person that participated. I greatly enjoyed seeing the results. Reading them makes me want to push myself a little more in my own Haiku.

Cyril of Cyril Busierre : Ah, the Romantic in Cyril came out this week. I am assuming the Romantic?

Love Happy Notes : A mermaid! 🙂

Florence T of Rambling On : Florence does the philosophical this week but also the rather poignant.

CASEYLOVE’S : Must read Haiku. Seriously.

Silver Threading : Another philosophical Haiku. I had to stop and think about this one. Very appropriate choices of words and imagery. Very nice.

Faith Unlocked : Enjoyed this one, especially here on Sunday. A very clear an concise message.

 

 

Some deep thinking this week. It was either that or the authors just really touched on subjects that hit home with me.

 

Much Respect

REWIND #3

The prompt words were Chaos & Calm.

 

Thank you to each person that participated. I greatly enjoyed seeing the results. Reading them makes me want to push myself a little more in my own Haiku.

Cyril of Cyril Busierre : Cyril brought a poem that was universal in nature and actually I felt identified me in many ways. This one stopped me as I read it and reread it. Even now I have read it through several times putting this Rewind together. An excellent Haiku.

Hilary of The Joy of Writing : Hilary brought her vacation home and shared it with us in this Haiku. You instantly knew what she was talking about in the few short lines and you wanted to escape.

Florence T of Rambling On : Florence writes a Haiku this week that can bring many meanings from the superficial immediate thoughts to various philosophical thoughts that my have Freud examining you in your dreams.

Kate of Dazzling Whimsy  : I appreciate that Kate includes this challenge in her busy life. If you don’t know what I mean you need to visit her site and see her photography and the stories with them. This weeks Haiku tells of her daughters athletic activities. Three girls, three athletes for three different squads, with three different schedules, I don’t really get where she ever has calm.

Eloise of Thoughts by Mello-Elo  : This week has been a crazy one for Eloise and I appreciate her involvement. I enjoyed this one a great deal as he gave my imagination sparks for thoughts of the sea and ships and such. You will need to read it for yourself.

 

I believe the Haiku offered this week were amazingly strong. The imagery each one provided hit in with each Haiku. I appreciate everyone that participates.

RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge #2 Rewind

RW Weekly Haiku Challenge

REWIND #2

The prompt words for Challenge #2 were Turtle and Snail.

I think a lot of people went with the land loving Tortoise on this one instead of the smooth water gliding Turtle but that’s okay. The contrasts were two fold here in land and sea as well as the smooth and relatively fast pace of the Turtle compared to the must be moving Snail because they are never there when you look later on.

 

Click the site links to go to each Haiku.

Kate of DazzlingWhimsy gave a really deep thought Haiku this week. I really enjoyed it and . . .  well just go look.

 

Cyril of Cyril Bussiere got the Turtle instead of Tortoise here but I am still wondering how long it stayed there for that Snail to get to where it did.

 

Honua of Embracing a Wounded Soul did a great job. I loved the image she used. I still laugh each time I see it. Yes, I am laughing now. Your screen is shaking, right?

 

The Laughable Cheese of Welcome to Writers Town . . . well . . . I laughed. There is a bit of dry wit there.

 

Eloise of Thoughts by Mello-Elo nailed it this week. I have to truly name her the Big WORDsmith this week. Luckily I remembered she had written one.

 

Florence T of Rambling On gave us two selections. The first was quite good, the second . . . quite tasty.

 

Marcy of Illustrated Poetry gets the scientists award this week. 🙂 I really should make up awards like that. Who would have thought of using T-rex?

Thank you to each person that participated. I greatly enjoyed seeing the results. Reading them makes me want to push myself a little more in my own Haiku.

Swimming Turtle glides

Across the far finish line

The snail finishes.

Two contrasting creatures in speed, both finish, one is seen as the winner, but the snail finishes and does not give up, winning as well.

RW Weekly Haiku Challenge

REWIND #1

The prompt words for Challenge #1 were Silent and Loud.

Good results for the first week of the prompt challenge. I am very happy with the results. People are trying something new and stretching their creativity a bit, and they are having fun doing it.

 

Click the site links to go to each Haiku.

Cyril of well Cyril Bussiere gave us a very nice one that I read one way but was meant another, and isn’t that what poetry does? It gives the person reading a meaning and reveals a little about the self in how you interpret what you read.

 

Hilary of The Joy of Writing came up with a great use of the prompt this week. I greatly enjoyed it. She even was able to do it and keep with the theme of her blog in a second article. Hilary is becoming a Joy to read as well as a Joy as a Friend. She has been a great find in this blogging world.

 

Eloise of Thoughts by Mello-Elo brought a surprising Haiku from one so . . . Mellow?

 

Florence T of Rambling On has found a new talent . . . Haiku. Her result was great and she used a word I was surprised to see.

 

Thank you to each person that participated. I greatly enjoyed seeing the results. Reading them makes me want to push myself a little more in my own Haiku.

RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge #1

Ronovan Haiku Prompt Challenge , , , , , , , , ,

RW Weekly Haiku Challenge

First of all, a big THANK YOU to DazzlingWhimsy for creating creating the badge for this weekly challenge!

RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge #1

The rules are simple.

  • Take the two words and write a Haiku. I use Haiku in English as my style, but you can use what you like.
  • 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.
  • Copy a link to your finished haiku  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 pink back, put a link back to the prompt page, if you like within your post, as long as it does not take away from your haiku. I would do it at the very bottom near where one normally puts the copyright. But I am not encouraging anyone to do that. This is just permission to do so. 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.
  • You may copy the badge appearing in this post and place it on your site if you wish. 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.

 

The Challenge Words! Finally!

Silent

Loud

My example:

You bring silence out,

Over the noise of the world’s moans,

Cacophonous dins ring.

As you can see I changed the words but kept their meanings. Enjoy the challenge and I look forward to seeing your Haiku.

Much Respect

Ronovan
