RonovanWrites Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt Challenge #19 Deep&Truth

The 19th Haiku Prompt Challenge!

Badge provided by Me for this season.

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:

Deep & Truth

My Example

Some hold to the truth,

When their eyes are filled with sin,

Convictions hide deep.

Do you have a Twitter Handle? Do I know it? Let me know!

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. Really each Haiku is a choice of mine so I feel a bit odd even having something called A RONOVAN’S CHOICE, but hey, it’s a thing, right?

@michellelunato

Georgia of Through The Eyes of Bastet : I loved the light through the bottles. I knew I could count on Georgia to be here for the first official PhotoKu.

Jen of Blog It or Lose It: I like the sunset photos and where they came from in this one. Always nice to see that personal touch and have something to throw you back to a time. You’ll know what I mean when you read it.

Wordless just didn’t really fit what was trying to be done here. Sure, this is Haiku poetry without words but in truth I believe calling it Wordless Haiku almost handcuffed the creativity. So from this point on it’s going to be known as the;

Photography Haiku Challenge!

Yes, the first ever

PhotoKu!

#18

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

I prefer no words or numbers of any kind to appear in the images you use. This includes sign language . . . of any kind. I believe this forces one to be more creative.

Below is my original example of how to do a haiku with images. People have become a lot more creative with using their photography. This is just to show you a basic layout and give you an idea of how things might look. Check out our previous participants to see how it’s really done.

Visit Blog it or Lose it and Through the Eye of Bastet to see how you might can do this.

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 create your own Photography Haiku before Noon on the Sunday following the posting of this challenge,
Then either post a link in the comments here for everyone that visits to go see and/or ping back (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. . .

Bottles & Light

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.

Jen of Blog It or Lose It: People, go and check this out. Seriously, click on the image on the site and just look at it. Even if you don’t think of it as a Haiku you still see a story and get a feel. Definite atmosphere set. Awesome.

This week I decided to make it a little easier. Why? To be honest there are such great photography being used I want to see what’s out there. And I thought these two words go together well, but also do present somewhat of a challenge to those using their own photography.

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. . .

Cars & Bridges

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.

Georgia of Through The Eyes of Bastet : Enjoyed the use of color and black&white photos this week. A very good use to deliver the message.

Jen of Blog It or Lose It: As soon as I saw this one I just loved it. The subject, the photos and the layout. I think primarily because the subject reminds me of one of the few things I actually do remember, I have amnesia for those who don’t know. This reminds me of my father making something every year but he’s gotten on in years and can’t any longer, but I do have the memories of it.

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

Our New participants this week.

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

S.J. Takeshi

Takeshi’s Flight

Haiku: Counter Ev’ry Gloom

@suejutakeshi

A very good message and it was nice to see some of our regulars visit and not only comment but ‘like’ the Haiku. We hope Takeshi joins us with #15.

If you are not following this blog, I dare say you may be missing out on some potentially amazing things. Just click and find out all about him. IMPRESSIVE!

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.

Hugh

Hugh’s View & News

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

I just love not only the playful way of the opening but the message as well. 🙂

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 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.

Her potential spreads,

Like a warm ray of sunshine,

Her smile shines always.

RonovanWrites Weekly #Haiku Prompt Challenge Rewind #13

October 12, 2014 Ronovan Haiku Prompt Challenge Challenge, Haiku, Haiku Challenge, Poetry, Poetry Challenge, Poetry Prompt, wordpress event

REWIND #13

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

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

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

Becca made the perfect comment about the Haiku.

A.C. Elliott

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.
