The 18th 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:

Stress & Hold

My Example

Hold your tongue, you naive,

Lest my blade’s honed  edge be used,

Stress your purpose here.

 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?

Much respect

Drive & Psycho

 Let me put this into perspective. I plan each week to have Sian do one word and I do the other. Well, this week Sian is on vacation but her mother in the words for her . . . AFTER her mother had driven the two of them to meet the rest of the family. That being said, I thought I would leave both of her words together this week. I hope you enjoy and I hope we see Sian again.

 #1

Her Mom is psycho,

As she drives them to the beach,

Sian wants unicorn.

#2

I drive onward and

In the depths of agony

I turn psychotic.

Fluffy & Rainbow

Yes, I know the words are a little different than normal. However I promised a friend’s daughter that I would let her choose the words this week. I made the mistake of saying fun and uplifting. So she decided to stick it to me with these. She picked Rage and Flammable last week. Yes she has a very odd sense of humor.

Here are two examples just to give you something to spark the thoughts if need be. This shows you there are possibilities!

#1

The rainbow fell down,

Through the sky not quite of blue,

Dark fluffy clouds cried.

#2

Fluffy roses trim,

The skirt blowing in the wind,

Revealed rainbow scars.
