A great post that encompasses a lot but in so short a space. You just never know what your doing and for whom you’re doing it for.

The past few weeks I have drifted and I have been pushed farther away from my blogging world that I am comfortable. I felt the distance growing as days turned into weeks and it was all I could do to eek out a post or two. I was behind in reading all of my favorite blogs. Photographs taken for upcoming photo challenges sat unused in their folders on my desktop. Post ideas fell by the wayside. I was not happy with the direction things were heading but I felt helpless.

I can give you all the excuses- I was preparing my house for my oldest son along with his family to move in indefinitely. I was needed to watch the baby. I had to attend my other two kids’ college family weekends. I had meetings. My best friend moved within days of my oldest son moving in. The list goes…

Possible Delay in Challenge Rewinds.

Ronovan Poetry , , ,

There may be a slight delay in the various poetry challenge rewinds today. I will do them as soon as I can. Just trying to get to a point where I can make them happen. Much appreciation to all those who have participated so far. All of you keep making these challenges possible or I very like would have given up long ago.

Site Addition: Haiku Challenges Guidelines page

Ronovan Haiku Challenges , , , , , , , , ,

The new Haiku poem challenges begin Monday morning at 00:01 EST or New York time.  In preparation of that I have a new

Haiku Challenges Guidelines

page that explains each challenge and displays the badge for each one. The badges were kindly created by DazzlingWhimsy.

 

THREE HAIKU CHALLENGES

The goal of the Challenges is to encourage creativity and fun. Also they are a way to give those with websites another idea for content when they are just in the burnout mode that we all go through.

A few things to know. If you participate, you get a badge, but please make it an honest attempt. Even the Decipher one you can copy the badge for trying.

There will be categories coming soon as the Challenges continue to help me choose who gets selected to be in the three differently Challenges’ weekly wrap ups. Those that are chosen are noted in a post and links are included back to their sites.

Enjoy the Challenges and most of all HAVE FUN!

Starting NEW next week, 3 Weekly Haiku Challenges are coming.

Ronovan Poetry , , , , , , ,

If you’ve been here before you know I love Haiku poetry.

Next week I am starting Three challenges.

Yes, THREE. You’ve probably noticed I don’t go half way on anything around here.

 

 

Decipher the Wordless Haiku of the Lost Mind

This is a game for some and can be a Haiku prompt for others.

You may have noticed a couple of my attempts at Wordless Haiku, an experiment of mine. Not great but each one I believe gets a  little better. This is a way to stay Wordless on Wednesday and put a little visual artistry into the mix. I like to use visuals with my poetry and even make the poetry shaped visually at times. Now I am taking it one step further.

Simply leave your interpretation of the Haiku in the comments or even write your own Haiku to it and leave a link to it in the comments and I will check it out and reply, either here or on your site, depending on what you chose to do.

 

Wordless Haiku Poet

Associated with the above, you can also create your own Wordless Haiku and put the link for it in comments. That way others can see it and check it out and I can too and see if I can guess what you did.

A badge will go with it as soon as I create one. Yes the ideas are coming fast and furious.

 

RonovanWrites’ Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge

I will give two things you must include in a prompt, such as ocean and concrete for a contrast Haiku or maybe strawberries and kisses. It might even be a photo.

But you determine what the words mean, the photo means, and how to link them.

I am working on a badge that you can display if you wish.

The prompt comes out on Monday at 00:01 EST, that’s NY time for people like me that just have no clue sometimes, and you have all week to complete the challenge. And of course you can always come to them as a prompt on those days you just need something to spark some creativity if you didn’t do the challenge in the first place.

 

I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do. Haiku is a wonderful art form.

Few or many, I will appreciate and enjoy all those who participate. One is more than I expect or deserve.

Let me know in comments what you think of the ideas.

Much Respect

The Most Interesting Person I’ve Met This Year is…

The Most Interesting Person I’ve Met This Year is…

by: Ronovan

 

He walks a little slower than most with his head down in avoidance. You’ll see him move his head quickly, almost jerkily at a movement entering the edge of his vision. He cocks his head to listen for sounds that he won’t hear but does all the same.

 

People look at him oddly as he walks through the store. It’s not that he looks that differently than anyone else, but they can tell something is not quite right. If they could see his shaded eyes they might be able to see more than they would care to.
