Monday arrives, and so does the weekly haiku challenge set by our dear Ronovan.
Please check out his challenge here.
This week the prompt words are Call & Cheer.
Can I say before I write, I am not feeling too ‘cheery’ at the moment, due to some sad personal news. The only ‘calls’ I had, held sadness…
If this colours the way I think about my haiku, I apologise…
——-
Gone – Tanka
I call out to you
As you seem to be floating
Far away from me
It hits me, like a bullet
Happiness evaporates
——–
You left me then. Gone
No word to say you were off.
I feel so empty
Knowing that I shall not see
Your cheery face anymore…
Ritu 2015
I shall add another, more light hearted one that I also penned…
Last Orders – Haiku
The barman calls time
Then changes his mind… Lock In!
Cheers erupt all round!

But I Smile Anyway...
