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:

 

Acceptance & Rejection

 

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

She rejects my glance,

As I gaze with deep longing.

Her body accepts.

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

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.

RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge #1

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

Starting NEW next week, 3 Weekly Haiku Challenges are coming.

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

Wordless Wednesday: I’m Up For It.

© Copyright-All rights reserved-RonovanWrites.wordpress.com-June 04, 2014.

I’m the Patron Saint of…? The Daily Post Prompt

“In 300 years, if you were to be named the patron saint of X, what would you like X to be? Places, activities, objects — all are fair game.”

Prompt from The Daily Post.

Those who come after you normally declare what you are the saint of depending on what your life message was. But I suppose I would like to be known as the Patron Saint of Encouragement. Encouragement is something we can give without it costing anything. Although it may cost in emotional energy, but I am okay with that.

Encouragement Post

I think in many cases a person works most in areas that they don’t have themselves. Oh, sure I have encouragement but is there ever too much encouragement? I mean honest encouragement, not the token encouragement. I don’t encourage people in a talent or a situation unless I honestly believe in it. I don’t like to mislead or give false hope or impressions. I let my yes mean yes and my no mean no.

A bit boring I know but it’s what I could come up with. But I really think it’s up to those who know you to determine what you would be. People could say that I am the Patron Saint of (Insert Polite Words Here Please).
