Ronovan Writes Weekly Wordless Haiku Challenge #3

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

Welcome to the Weekly Wordless Haiku Challenge #3.

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.

This is an example of one I created last week.

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. . .

Feather & Stone

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.

#3

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:

Chaos & Calm

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

Chaos of her soul,

Made her eyes stare into space,

An image of calm.

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

John Mark of The Artistic Christian is the Inspirational Wordless Haiku of the week.

Dianne of Sweeter Than Honey as the Creative Wordless Haiku of the week. Dianne really does know how to use the images. We try to make out more than what’s there but when she reveals the answer you see she told you exactly what the words were the entire time. Very nice. So Nice I have to put her image here this week. Now you see why she’s so good at this. She’s pretty as a picture herself. (Sorry John Mark, you have to admit she’s prettier than you.)

Make sure to visit each one. They all did them differently and came up with different ideas. And all made mine look bad.

Much Respect

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.

Much Respect

That has frozen my dark steps,
Hard heart melts to peace.

If you need Tips on how to play visit the Haiku Challenges Guidelines page.

This weeks will be easy. As the weeks go by the will get a little more difficult.

Quick reminders:

3 Lines of poetry with the first line having 5 syllables, the second 7, and the third 5. If you get stuck, visit the Haiku Challenges Guidelines page. You need to insert words such as ‘the’ where they fit. Keep the syllables in mind.

Post your Decipher in the comments. You can guess as many times as you like, but please don’t look at the other guesses if you are going to make additional guesses. That just wouldn’t be fair, now would it?

Enjoy And Happy Picture Hunting

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.

Plastic wands swirl round

Turning life into magic

Using ink four spells.

My theme for the Haiku was writing. Using ink pens to create magic words out of the life we see.

Next week I may either give a hint as to the theme of something that may help.

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

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.
