she works in earnest,

to create a home for her queen,

requires great instincts

A Haiku for my challenge this week: Intent&Thought (Earnest&Instincts)

You should click HERE to check out the Worker Bee Wikipedia page. I didn’t know the Worker Bee was female. There are ELEVEN tasks the Worker Bee performs listed on the page. Amazing. Think about how many societal structures of living creatures are based around a female with females being the hardest workers.

To Know the Future – a poem

June 30, 2020June 30, 2020 Ronovan Haiku creative moment, Creative Outlet, Famous Quote, Goerge Santayana, Haiku Poetry, Life, Micro Poetry, Micropoetry, Planning for the future, Remember history, Ronovan Hester, Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge

Do you have intent

while you dream of the future,

give thought to your past.

A Haiku for my challenge this week: Intent&Thought

Inspired by the quote below. One I live by, a mantra if you will, as a former History teacher and writer of Historical fiction. When you do know history you look at what is happening today and you know what will happen tomorrow. And it’s heartbreaking.

George Santayana‘s famous aphorism “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” is inscribed on a plaque at the Auschwitz concentration camp in Polish translation and English back-translation

- 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, visit HowManySyllables.com. (You would be surprised at how many syllables some words actually have.)
- Words have different definitions and you use the definitions that work for you Haiku. You can also use SYNONYMS. Go to Thesaurus.com for synonym help.

The Truth of Peace – a poem

June 29, 2020June 29, 2020 Ronovan Haiku creative moment, Creative Outlet, Haiku Poetry, Johan Galtung, Life, Micro Poetry, Micropoetry, Poetry about Active Peace, Poetry about wellbeing, Ronovan Hester, Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge, What is Harmony, What is Peace

harmony’s intent,

isn’t peace but self’s progression,

in truth wellbeing

A Haiku for my challenge this week: Intent&Thought

Inspired by the Theory of Active Peace. Not a perfect representation of it, but the best I could do with 17 syllables… this time.

Words they do… – a poem

June 26, 2020June 26, 2020 Ronovan Poetry Black Lives Matter, Change 2020, Election 2020, Life, Make a Change, Make a Difference, Poetry, Racism, Ronovan Hester, Societal changes, What words do

Word, the most violent and deadly of devices.

Some cause hurt will some bring sacrifices.

This singular blade of patronization

may bring hope or one’s death causation.

My breath is shallow get off of me,

those are words below a bended knee.

They are screamed, shouted cried in mass,

no wonder the chants have turned to “You can kiss my ass.”

Young man, lying cuffed down on the ground,

pleas of “sorry”, “I’m good”, authorities stand around.

He’s sick and vomiting from fear confused,

all the man asked is, “What drugs have you used?”

One word can turn belief from one to the other.

The right takedown then a lineal belief of a brother.

Words, they do good they do harm they kill they agree.

What does the future hold for this land of the free?

“One cannot change history, but can create the future.” – Ronovan Hester

Hammers have no Power – a poem

June 25, 2020June 25, 2020 Ronovan Poetry Black Lives Matter, Change 2020, Election 2020, History, Life, Make a Change, Make a Difference, Ronovan Hester, Societal changes

One cannot erase the least of the past,

the memories remain, now, even more, held fast.

It can’t be torn down with a hundred thousand blows.

But unity, voice, and pen have power to transpose.

Not having lost the what, where and were,

one has the knowledge to create the future.

“One cannot change history, but can create the future.”

The End of a Line

Enshrine their, her, and his story.

While they bathed the ages in lye.

one still in iron, one a tie,

one a boss, one inventory.

One has choice, one mandatory.

One in front, the other the back.

The line starts here and ends in black.

The future is rising, grab that ring.

Make lady justice’s scale swing.

No slowing down, stay the attack.

June 20, 2020June 20, 2020 Ronovan Haiku 17 syllables, Birthday, birthday poem, Creative Writing, Haiku, Life, Nature, Poetry, Ronovan Hester

samhradh’s sweet first day,

is time of birth and searching,

yields to cloak and death

How you amaze me
Every day
I think of ways
You give me life and meaning

No one who
Could be like you
And not change me

How you amaze me
How you amaze me
How you amaze me

I travel through
a black blue sea
until I can be
just one of your days

Finding words
Like pulling nerves
Too many and all painful
Just let me be pain free
Once in my life

How you amaze me
How you amaze me
How you amaze me

Just once in my life
Make me pain free.

I used to call these my lyrical poems. I suppose all poems are lyrical…with the right accompaniment. What you see is what came out as it came out.

A Racist Confessed – A Décima Poem

June 18, 2020June 18, 2020 Ronovan Decima Poetry #AmWriting, Black Lives Matter, Decima Poetry, I am racist, Poems that Rhyme, Poetry Challenge, Racism, Racist Denial, Ronovan Hester, Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt, Then Commandments, White Privilege

A Racist Confessed

I confess that I’m a racist.

Looking away from bigotry.

Angry at one man’s bended knee.

Knowing that blue on black exists.

Hoping proof shows the black resists.

Loving the colors of all skin?

Bet on who I’ll blame the break-in.

Time all these lies become past tense.

Pray man comes to a common sense.

Confess we’ve held down our own kin

This Décima was inspired by this week’s Décima by Vocabularical (Is that not the best name for a wordsmith?)- Décima Challenge: Sense. That’s the name of his entry post. Click it and you will not be disappointed. I reblogged it here on my blog, but he deserves to have it read where it lives. Please do go and read it. It will hit some of you right between the eyes.

My entry for this week’s Décima Poetry Challenge No. 10 SENSE. (A New Challenge here on ronovanwrites.com)

A Poem of Challenges…

a voice from on high

raining down over blind hearts

the shared truth triumphs

The mind plus the heart makes for change.

A whisper of placation will do,

as will just praying from your pew.

Groupthink who buys that…will derange.

Those aware are bound to outrange.

Fools who hate, fear, and deny,

why degenerate, prove your why?

He’s in his fortress, while you fight?

Him or the blood, you know which’s right.

For him, no grace, a nation’s cry.

The DC Men

‘The powers that be’ say stay calm,

and wait till a little later.

But now’s the time that is greater.

Keep 119:60 a just Psalm,

carried out in your righteous palm.

Look at that divinely sent ten.

Are they kept bye those DC men?

If only they’d done as they should

we would be saying ‘all is good’,

But now….off to the lion’s den.

I used LATER as a Synonym for NEXT. I didn’t like the first poem I put out.

Forensic Goof

You thought your term was bulletproof.

Then there’re rumors of your sext text.

So what’re you going to do next.

You’re now a political goof,

turned into an SNL spoof.

But with a big enough check.

you’ll save this runaway trainwreck.

The New York Times puts it in print,

On no, here comes the New Your Post.

Now you’re thinking of that almost.

That check you wrote… has your thumbprint.

My entry for this week’s Décima Poetry Challenge No. 9 NEXT. (A New Challenge here on ronovanwrites.com)

I did around four other poems but they were too serious. I wanted something light and maybe a bit funny this week. So after two hours, a night of sleep, and another 30 minutes, you get that.

Bedrock – A Tanka poem.

when breaking down walls

passion’s a key to success

when breaking glass ceilings

never aim up for the roof

but down to diseased bedrock

***Fight Through It Not To It!***

A Tanka related to the Haiku Challenge of Break and Glass this week.

‘The Future’ a Haibun

June 9, 2020June 12, 2020 Ronovan Haiku, Poetry 2020, Black Lives Matter, Equality, Haibun, Haiku, Life, One Human One Race, Poetry, Race Relations in America, Ronovan Hester, The Future of America

I am looking to the future and am staying positive we will be a better place. There are many outcomes, but with a continued and determined effort the goal is in reach and the winning score is taken. Continued effort. Continued education of the masses, and not only for the Whites. Continued inspection of all contributions to racism and the influences ever how nuanced they are. I stay not hopeful, but positive that it will happen.

the future is bright

after the dark times have past

we all overcome

This is related Haibun to the NEXT Décima Poem Challenge that will Be out tomorrow.
