Haiku – Cry Out To Me by @Roccoco_a_GoGo
Three Haiku this quickly, and I didn’t even put out a Haiku of my own as a hint to what the prompt words might be. The man is insane, but takes a mean photograph. At least there was a cheerful one among the three. 🙂 My goal this week was for uplifting Haiku, or at least to nudge all in that direction.
The boatman waits patiently for the return journey – I took this photo from Rabbit Island off the coast of Cambodia
Bird, call out to me,
Crying across the ocean
Cheering the sad heart
…O…
A sea of spring flowers welcomes the bees – a photo I took this spring at King’s Park in Perth, Western Australia
The flowers calling
Sets the very air abuzz
With the bees cheering
…O…
Clouds gather over Versailles
Please don’t cheer me up
With cruel winter’s wind calling
I must feel sadness
In response to Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge. The prompts for this week are Cheer and Call
Pine and Grieve 2×2 by @meredithlbl

Oh, Christmas Tree
Deep green conifer
lovely against pure, white snow
rue loss at Christmas?
Grief
Despair consumes him
reliving terrors of war
mourning loss of life.
by Meredith
K.I.S.
No fancy coffin
Ornate design to hold clay
Turn mourning to joy
Ornate design to hold clay
Turn mourning to joy
Refugees
Woe for the children
must flee what is familiar
Brood in foreign land
must flee what is familiar
Brood in foreign land
Haiku – Odd Couplings by @Roccoco_a_GoGo
TJ Paris is in first with 3 Haiku and photos included. @Roccoco_a_GoGo
This butterfly perched upon the seaweed of a tidal pool. The strange contrast of the butterfly, the seaweed and coral shards was oddly satisfying. Exmouth Western Australia
A strange dalliance
A butterfly pines for love
Grieving on seaweed
…O…
The sun just rising on the horizon, the moon and a single star hovering above the makeshift tent we built on the desert island.
Afar, the moon grieves
Caught in hopeless attraction
Endlessly pining
…O…
Tears in the kitchen sink.
Rainy Winter’s Day
I so pine for the sunshine
The clouds show their grief
It’s Monday again! How? Why? 3 offerings for the wonderful Ronovan of Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge.
Ronovan Writes Weekly Photo Challenge: Pines and Grief
Daily Press Weekly Photo Challenge: Happy Place
Grief’s Release
The she wolf pines for
Her lost lover to return,
would bring grief’s release.

Luminosity is Bliss
Luminosity
Is something achieved through bliss
Reiterated?
Sometimes you look at what you have and count yourself very fortunate and blessed. But have you ever had a person in your life, or known a person that liked to remind a person just how great something is or how lucky they are? You almost want to reach over and smack ’em. Almost. Then you think about it and realize the other person in the scenario is old enough to know what’s going on and either likes it, doesn’t care, or will deal with it at some point.
Do you like to harp on things for the sake of your own glory? Especially things that are so clear to the one you are united with? Harp to the point of them no longer perhaps feeling so luminous about your presence in their life? Maybe that wonderful thing they loved then becomes something they just can’t stand.

Toward peace, tranquility, life
Moved by flesh longings.

Here-A Haiku and a message added. Please Read.
Oh for peace to be
Here among the clamoring,
I find loneliness.
Do you hear what he’s saying?

This was written because of National Suicide Prevention Month. Thousands who die don’t die alone, they die around us. They call for help but we don’t know their language. Why? Because they’ve been made to feel as though there is something socially wrong and almost illegal about themselves. If they say they are depressed what happens to them? What happens at work? How does their family treat them or look at them? Do people ignore them with a “It’ll be alright.”?
For some of us we are lucky and have that one moment of clarity, that image that comes to our mind that pulls us back just in time. Not everyone has a boy “B”. Not everyone can be strong enough or maybe has fought for themselves hard enough to make it through. The above poem and image may not get the full effect I was going for, I may try again, but it tells you how we feel. All of the world around us, so close, so loud, but we feel all alone…and we don’t know why.
For some of you reading this, just think that you would never have met some great people if not for this blog. Perhaps a person has become very important to you that you met through a post or a challenge you found here.
Share this so people have an idea. We’re not crazy. But we are just out of step with something that will make us understand what is going on inside of us. And we call for help in different ways. Try to look, try to know your family, your friend. Know their language, in words, emotions, body. And when that language changes, find out why.
Heat.
She was born too heat,
Melting the coldest of cores,
She starts earth to burn.
Passion? Nature? Life? Love? What is it about? Is the image coloring your impression?

Make it Hot in Here! By @Edwinasepisodes
Judy, Judy, Judy is our first in this week for the challenge.Um, urrr, I think I may be turning red right now from that last sentence formed. It’s getting hot in heeerrreee.
I was going to go in a totally different direction with the prompt words this week for Ronovan’s weekly Haiku Challenge (you can probably guess from the words rahter than the picture)!
I settled on this instead though!
When eating curry
Take your time, start off slowly,
Things will soon get HOT!!
Tears Inside.
With a wine red nose,
The clown made the people laugh,
While tears flowed inside.

Random Acts of Rhymeness of a Lost Mind.
I thought people might like to see what I used to do when completely out of my mind and bored. Warning, the following is not good and may be hazardous to your poetry skills for the day. From May, 2014.
Social Media Random Acts of Rhymeness
My brain fails to stop me sometimes. Here are the ‘poems’ I came up with and tweeted last night.
#1
Peter O’Toole
Never played a Fool
Unless he wore a crown.
#2
There are things we must know
When we know nothing at all
Stand up straight shoulders back
And shut our mouths above all.
#3
Why do you quibble
When the meaning is so far
Buried within us?
Much Respect-Much Love

No Bridge Too Far.
Thinking of the prompt words for my Haiku Challenge this week, I encourage you to join with the great group of poets/bloggers, my evil mind came up with this week I kept thinking of how the word bridge united two worlds. Those worlds could be any two life systems this planet possesses.
I’m staying positive in these thoughts. I’m considering the world of love today. How often have you seen that true love in your life only to say it is impossible or too much trouble to achieve happiness? How often do you say it just wasn’t meant to be, or maybe you don’t deserve it?
For some it could actually be a physical distance. Maybe even other obstacles combined with that distance. Is ultimate love and happiness worth a going the extra miles, giving the extra effort, or perhaps even going through that miles and miles of pain knowing love is waiting at the end?
Is there a bridge too far for you?
A bridge too far is
A path you’ve never taken,
Could change your future.
To see the image at its best, click it.
Much Respect-Much Love

A Year in Haiku by @bwseekingbl
The only person that I know of to do every single Haiku Challenge. And she’s the first one in this week. Juliette, my name for Battered Wife Seeking Better Life blog owner.
Here you will see every single one of her Haiku for all 60 challenges.
Why Juliette?
It seems to fit in a way. I’ve read a year of poetry from this woman and seen a change in her. One of promise.
You know that old adage, time flies when you’re having fun? Looks like there is definitely some truth to that statement. Well, times flies by anyway so why not do something you enjoy. At least you’ll have something to look forward to on a daily (or weekly) basis. I can hardly believe a year has passed since I stumbled upon RonovanWrites and his Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge.
While on Twitter, I started noticing all these little poems people were posting. They were so wordy and full of meaning in only 140 characters. Each had a different hashtag but as days went on I’d notice the same hashtags pop up on different poems. I thought maybe it was a certain theme or topic but I just couldn’t figure out the link. Finally, I asked one of the women I met through my blog who I noticed was a participant in these poetry. She explained about…

Aux armes, citoyens! Rise up! by TJ Paris @Roccoco_a_GoGo
TJ Paris is in first this week from Western Australia. Poor man was waiting for the challenge to come out and found out it was going at a random time today. 🙂
Hermes soars atop the column on the Place de la Bastille.
Rise up citizens,
to save civilisation
with human kindness
Ronovan’s of Ronovan Writes has offered this week’s prompts of Rise and Save.
One of the most enduring symbolic actions of the French Revolution was the storming of the Bastille. The people of Paris nobly liberating the tragically prisoners trapped in this vile and noisome fortress. So complete was the destruction of this symbol of Royal oppression that not a stone remains. Then in July 1830 the Parisians again got all revolutionary and this column was put on top of the location where the Bastille stood to show the Parisians were revolting (again!).
How I can picture the iron gates of the Bastille being torn down and the poor, wrongly imprisoned scions of the people flooding out in their hundreds while the vile Aristos shuddered (quite rightly) in their gilded palaces.
