The Guidelines:

1. Take the two words and write a Haiku. I use Haiku in English (the link shows you how) as my style, which is 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the third, but you can use what you like.
   • The link above has links on how to write Haibun and Tanka. You can also do the 3/5/3 form if you like instead of the 5/7/5 that I usually use. Write, share, and have fun. For syllable help,
     
   • For syllables for each word, and different definitions, you use the definition that works for you Haiku. You can also use SYNONYMS. Go to Thesaurus.com for synonym help.

1.  
2. Copy the link of your finished haiku URL and paste in a comment below so we can all go and visit your Haiku.
   • You can do a pingback. What’s a pingback? Place the URL from the address bar up top from this post as a link within your post. Your inclusion of the link encourages others to try the challenge, be creative, and join a community to find friends and more followers (hopefully). I honestly gain nothing with more people visiting the post. I don’t have ads running that generates revenue by your visit or by clicks on whatever WordPress has put up.
   • Click HERE for a detailed post on PINGBACKS.
3. If you like, copy the image in this post and place it within their post, just to show the Haiku is part of this challenge.
   • I am not saying you need or even should, but if you would like to do so then go ahead.

SEASONAL BADGE

This weeks words were chosen to reflect the holidays of this particular time of the year as well as th after effects of recent events. Choose your path wisely, but never flinch from the freedom of the flow.

Check out my post Friday Fiction with Ronovan Writes Prompt Challenge Holiday Special for a bit of flash fiction fun. You might could link the flash fiction, the Haiku, and even the Décima Poetry Challenge to make one big piece. Yes, tthe Décima Poetry Challenge will be as close as I can get to working with the other two challenges, but also open to interpretaion for non-holiday efforts.

A new Seasonal Badge for the Challenge is below if you would like to use it. Some of you may have noticed in the reader the badge has returned to the usual one. This is because our poets are accustomed to seeing that one, so I set it as my featured image. We’ve been missing a few of our regulars for the past couple of weeks since I changed the image, and I’m worried the new image might have lost them. I hope they come back soon.
