RW Weekly Haiku Challenge

#2

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:

 

Turtle & Snail

 

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

Swimming Turtle glides

Across the far finish line

The snail finishes.

Two contrasting creatures in speed, both finish, one is seen as the winner, but the snail finishes and does not give up, winning as well.

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

Ronovan

Moon Shadow of a Woman Tango DancersHeartbeat Stumbling Sign Man Falling Men Going in a BuildingHands in Shape of Heart Two arms with infinity tattoos

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. . .

Mountains & Valleys

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.

RW Weekly Haiku Challenge

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.

 

Much Respect

Ronovan

RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge #1

Ronovan Haiku Prompt Challenge , , , , , , , , ,

RW Weekly Haiku Challenge

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

Ronovan

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.

 Want to know more about Haiku as I write them? Click here for how to write them.

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

Much Respect

Ronovan
