The 16th Haiku Prompt Challenge!

For a refresher or how to write Haiku in English click here. But you can use whatever Haiku style you want to. As long as you, do a Haiku.

For Tips and Guidelines refreshers click here.

Something to keep in mind about a Haiku. Usually it is elemental in nature, but I don’t stick to that. There are two things I do like to see and they are; 1) Haiku that can be broken into two sentences with the middle line of the three lines being the commonly used part and 2) Opposite meanings in the first and last sentences.

Before you start!

I have links that will help you out. Remember for Haiku in English the total syllables are 5 for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the last. I don’t really hold people to that for this but if you want to do it in the 5/7/5 manner, the traditional way, then try that. One link I have for you is . . . howmanysyllables.com. Simply type in the word and find out how many syllables it has. Also for synonyms and antonyms go to thesaurus.com, I find it useful for finding a word to fit the meaning when syllables are not working out right.

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

Haunt & Release

My Example

Memories haunt me,

In times of least expecting,

My burdens released.

DEADLINE: Noon on Sunday New York Time.

(I hate doing deadlines, but it takes quite a while to complete the rewind.)

There are now things called “A RONOVAN’S CHOICE!” which simply means a Haiku that either touched me or was a stand out Haiku in structure and meaning.

Much respect

Georgia of Through The Eyes of Bastet : I am so envious of the things this lady gets to do. And then she puts it in her Haiku. I think she knows it’s torture for me.

I first want to thank DazzlingWhimsy for creating this badge for the challenge.

#15

The rules are simple: For how to write a Haiku in English and using the 5/7/5 syllable pattern click here.

No words or numbers of any kind can appear in the images you use. This includes sign language . . . of any kind.

You can use just pictures and not put them in the format I have them here. I was being creative. The point of this is to have fun.

This is an example of one I created.

The Haiku was:

Moon Shadow Dancers

Heartbeats Stumble, falling in

Love Infinity

I know, not the best but it was better then the first one I posted.

Here’s the challenge; You created your own wordless Haiku for Wednesday or any day really, then either post a link in the comments here for everyone that visits to go see and/or ping back (or copy the URL for this post into your Haiku post) to this post in your Haiku post.

I will read it and comment on it. Once I comment come get the badge.

If some of you would like a theme to prompt you what to begin thinking of you can perhaps use. . .

Green & Red

What do the words mean to you, and how can you connect the two words through that second line? You do not have to do the prompt, it is just a prompt to make you start thinking of things.

REWIND #14

The prompt words were:

Take Your Potential,

To Unexpected Results,

The Shine is Tarnished.

Shine & Potential. Sian chose great words for the week’s challenge. Sorry guys, but #15 Prompts are all on me. What people did were inspiring, thought provoking and in some cases nailed me on the head.

Some people don’t realize what you can do with three lines, the story you can tell, the message you can relay. Once they try it and see what they can do, the end up loving it. I encourage everyone to give the next one a try. Funny or serious, there is no wrong interpretation.

One thing I want to mention; Go and check out the Haiku for each person. Some of these poets have been here every week, and some have really stepped out of a comfort zone to find they have talent for Haiku and enjoy it.

My Picks This Week

Wendy Anne Darling with her Haiku: Glow

Colleen with her Haiku: Beauty Within

Elizabeth with her Haiku: Shine Shine Little One

Becca with her Haiku: Divine Love

K.S. Fause with her Haiku: Rise and Shine

Hugh with his Haiku: Past the Faces

Meredith and Martha

Meredith’s Musings

Haiku: Grandchildren, Storms &Romance

@meredithlbl

The two Literary Angels came through again. Four 4 Us as always. Under the right circumstances I could fall in love with at least one of these two. But shhh . . . don’t tell them. I meant the Haiku, yeah, the Haiku.

I’ll make note here of C.J. Black and his Haiku he put in comments on Meredith’s Haiku post.

Watch the blood moon shine
Those clouds on the horizon
Potential conflict.

Haiku: Past the Faces

@RobertHughes05

Each time I read Hugh’s Haiku I get a different thought. It could be an offspring graduating into the big adult world. It could be someone forcing themselves to soldier on past the smiles of doubters and naysayers. Hugh has really made Haiku his own thing.

A RONOVAN’S CHOICE!

Elke

writingindevizes

Haiku: Write here, Write now

The prompt words were Spirit & Flight.

Provided by Me this week, but Sian has awesome ones for #14.

Badge provided by DazzlingWhimsy.

This week people were mostly reflective it seemed. Some of course did take the fun of the words, as I was hoping they would. It is the month of Halloween here in the U.S. of A. and I thought perhaps people might go for the spook factor.

My Picks This Week

Tale of two Tales: KiwiBee with “Mere Mortals” did well using the middle line to create the two sentences of some contradiction.

Humorous Haiku: I think I will go with Ruth’s “Frequent Flyer” with an honorable mention for Elizabeth’s comment on it. I also found Florence T’s “Earthly Pleasures” fun.

Hitting Home/Heart Haiku: Angie with “A Great Man”. K.S. Fause with “Restless Spirit”.

Good Harmony of Image and Haiku: Ellie with “Ready to Flee”. KiwiBee with “Mere Mortals”.

Look For A New Badge When #14 Comes Out

Let’s start the week off with our first time participants in order Haiku was submitted:

Serins

Serins Sphere

Haiku: Broken Wings

@SerinsSphere

A lot of comments on Serins’ first attempt at Haiku. Several of our regulars enjoyed it and encouraged her to continue doing more.

Canaf

Faithful Homesteader

Haiku: Oneness

A very calming Haiku from our first time participant.

Angie

Angie Does Until She Doesn’t

Haiku: A Great Man

A very nice and personal Haiku from Angie. I once again encourage you all to go visit and read.

Ellie

Lifechimes

Haiku: Ready to Flee

@lifechimesdotuk

I enjoyed the Haiku but her photograph used is perfect and just absolutely perfect for her Haiku.

Now for our Regular Celebrity Haiku Heroes in order they submitted:

Colleen

Silver Threading

Haiku: A Moral Compass

@ColleenChesebro

A very good conversation between Colleen and Hugh in her comments.

(Visit her site and see her daughters and her together.)

Ruth

Mad Meandering Me

Haiku 1: Life After Death . . .

Several comments for Ruth’s first offering to the prompts.

Haiku 2: Frequent Flyer

I really enjoyed Elizabeth’s comment on the site as well as the comments on the challenge post.

Elizabeth

Tea & Paper

Haiku: Softening Spirit

Great comments, especially over her first line.

T.A. Wyatt

Finale to an Entrance

Haiku: Dream the Oasis

@FinaletoEntranc

Becca made the perfect comment about the Haiku.

A.C. Elliott

File Cabinet Ramblings

Haiku: Infallible Words

@elliott_ac

Becca agreed with me in the comments!!!! I feel validated.

Meredith and Martha

Meredith’s Musings

Haiku: Spooky, Sadness, Seasonal, Spiritual

@meredithlbl

Our two literary angels inspired some nice comments this week for sure.

Cyril

Cyril Bussiere

Haiku: The Spirit Can’t Rise

@cyrilbussiere

Cyril’s offerings always start a conversation between he and I, but this week there were several other exchanges. A very good offering, if not a bit tardy for our student poet. (Yes, I went there, Cyril. “Had a couple of exams yesterday so I’m a bit late.” Some excuse.)

BWSBL

Battered Wife Seeking Better Life

Haiku: Yearning to take flight

@bwseekingbl

Everyone, you should check this one out. Not only do you get to see the most recent offering, but she has all of the challenges below it so you can see everything. Her Pinterest images are also great to check out for her Haiku offerings.

Becca

Oh Dragonfly Wings with Buttercup Tea

Haiku: On Autumn’s Edge

@rgbickerstaff

I love the image used this week. Brought thoughts of when I was a kid to me.

Faith Unlocked

Haiku 1: I Choose Peace

A Haiku with a very good message that many should live by.

Haiku 2: I Seek Rest

Something I have been thinking of a lot lately.

@FaithUnlocked

K.S. Fause

Haiku: Restless Spirit

@ksfause

Made me think a lot.

Deborah

awomansaved

Haiku: Wings of the Spirit

A very inspiring and somehow reassuring Haiku for some.

Florence T

Rambling On

Haiku: Earthly Pleasures

@FTThum

The image is as good as the Haiku in giving the same message, I believe.

KiwiBee

Snap Thoughts

Haiku: Mere Mortals

Excellent image to Haiku. You will love the photography for sure.

Carol

Mama Cormier

Haiku: The adventure soars

@carol_cormier

Love the image that matches the Haiku so well.

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:

Before you start!

I have a link that will help you out. Remember for Haiku in English the total syllables are 5 for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the last. This the Haiku I use. I don’t really hold people to that for this but if you want to do it in the 5/7/5 manner, the traditional way, then try that. The link I have for you is . . . howmanysyllables.com.

Also for synonyms and antonyms go to thesaurus.com, I find it useful for finding a word to fit the meaning when syllables are not working out right.

Spirit & Flight

Sian is busy this week, so you have to suffer words all of my own.

My Example

Otis flees with cow,

Full of spirits for the night,

He is put to bed.

Can you guess what inspired this Haiku? If so, leave a comment.

DEADLINE: Noon on Sunday New York Time.

(I hate doing deadlines, but it takes quite a while to complete the rewind.)

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.

From the Humorous to the Creepy, we had a bit of it all this week. You just never know how people will be inspired by certain words.

This week I thought I might begin to do a few categories of:

My Picks This Week

I’ve been avoiding it as I enjoy everyone’s Haiku. But sometimes a few just connect with me for an aha moment. And I decided why not? I just hate for people to think I don’t like their Haiku simply because another might have connected just a touch more for a given week.

Tale of two Tales: Battered Wife Seeking Better Life-She wrote one that really does the idea of the flip side of one idea of Haiku perfectly.

Humorous Haiku: Oh, this one has to be a tie this week. AC Elliot with his 4 offerings and then Elke with her Red Squirrels and Gnomes. Both made me laugh.

Hitting Home/Heart Haiku: Haiku has a way of cutting through the hot air of some of us and getting right to the point. Cyril Bussiere did that quite well for me this week. Then Becca wrote one that brought a memory back to me.

The rules are simple: For how to write a Haiku in English and using the 5/7/5 syllable pattern click here.

No words or numbers of any kind can appear in the images you use. This includes sign language . . . of any kind.

You can use just pictures and not put them in the format I have them here. I was being creative. The point of this is to have fun.

This is an example of one I created.

The Haiku was:

Moon Shadow Dancers

Heartbeats Stumble, falling in

Love Infinity

I know, not the best but it was better then the first one I posted.

I will read it and comment on it. Once I comment come get the badge.

If some of you would like a theme to prompt you what to begin thinking of you can perhaps use. . .

Grace & Chaos

What do the words mean to you, and how can you connect the two words through that second line? You do not have to do the prompt, it is just a prompt to make you start thinking of things.

The prompts!

Drive & Psycho

Let me put this into perspective. I plan each week to have Sian do one word and I do the other. Well, this week Sian is on vacation but her mother in the words for her . . . AFTER her mother had driven the two of them to meet the rest of the family. That being said, I thought I would leave both of her words together this week. I hope you enjoy and I hope we see Sian again.

#1

Her Mom is psycho,

As she drives them to the beach,

Sian wants unicorn.

#2

I drive onward and

In the depths of agony

I turn psychotic.

Be sure to put a link to your Haiku in the comments below so we can all go check them out.
