TJ’s Household Haiku – Symmetry

The lovely TJ has a great prompt for his haiku challenge this week!

Symmetry

We were in the garden, having a barbeque as I read this prompt, and I searched for inspiration outside… Here was what I came up with.

My hanging basket
Red spouting on either side
Nature’s symmetry

And one more, a little bit of fun!

Red, White, Red, White, Red
Be sure to drink with caution
Must keep it balanced

Β #SoCS Aug 6/16 – Ex

Excuses – I’m always finding them, to explain why I’m putting off doing things like sorting out the kids bedroom… But I will do it, honest, it’s just that we have family over today for a barbecue so I need to clean the house from top to bottom! (Oops, see what I did there!)

Exercise – I’m attempting a lot of they right now, but exercise that will suit my knee problem, heel problem, and shortage of time problem. Today I may not get to walk, but my vigorous housework will count for something!!

Exterminate – I really am not into Dr a Who, so why did this come into my mind? Possibly because we needed to buy flea spray for the house yesterday. It’s that tine again… Thanks for the presents Sonu Singh, but we generally could do without fleas!

Extreme – I love that song by Extreme… More Than Words… Mmmmm Nuno Bettencourt…!

Existence – we are here… What are we here for? Have you worked out your purpose in life? Are we here just to exist, or do we each have a reason to be here? 

Extrovert – I guess that is how I could be described by some! It’s not that I crave attention, but I am not worried if I get it! I’m not shy, put it that way. 

Excited – I am, honestly, at the thought of finally getting the kids rooms sorted. We have four weeks of holiday left… Can we do it? As long as I don’t find any more excuses!!!

Thursday Photo Prompt – Liminal– #writephoto

Another intriguing photo prompt from Sue this week, and I got to educate myself too! What is Liminal, I asked myself?

Liminal is an English adjective, “on the threshold,” from Latin limen, plural limina, “threshold.” Liminality is the abstract noun formed from limina.

Thank you Wikipedia!

So… the photo…

And my tanka for this week.

Liminal

We’re on the threshold
Which adventure lies within?
Mystery indeed
An other-worldly portal
Or just a simple cavern?

Sizzle & Sleek

Belly Dancing

Belly Dancer

The shimmy of hips
With sleek curves undulating
Sizzling seduction

Ritu 2016

I’d love to be able to belly dance! I have a great belly… it sorta undulates of its own accord… but that’s due to lack of exercise!

But seriously, I think the whole art form is so sensual!

TJ’s Household Haiku – Mushrooms

TJ’s prompt this week…

Cambodian Markets

Or the word Mushrooms…

I used my artisticΒ licence…

Sea of umbrellas
As far as the eye can see
Resembling funghi
