TJ’s prompt this week:

Flower & Simply

Focus your brain
Welcoming an idea
To simply flower

Ritu 2017

Or…

Focus your brain
Allowing an idea
To simply flower

Ritu 2017#

Two variations that Graeme suggested I showcase together, showing two focuses or focii!

Which one do you prefer?

Whirlwinds blow across
The earth‘s haggard surfaces
Suffer silently

A whirlwind romance
Entwined with passion-filled nights
Feeling the earth move

TJ’s Prompt for this week’s challenge: a photo and/or a pair of words

Window & Heart

Two takes today. One inspired by the photo, and one with the words.

Turrets hide a heart
A princess searching for love
Glimpsed through a window

Ritu 2017

Look into my eyes
Showing all that’s in my heart
Windows to my soul

TJ’s back with his haiku prompts:

Nature reserve Perth

Rain & Shiver

I went with a 3/5/3 Haiku first…

Leaves shiver
With the weight of rain
Drops falling

Ritu 2017

Then a tanka

The rain falls in sheets
I’m wet and shivering
uncontrollably
Natures playing games again
Typical British summer

Ritu 2017

And the traditional 5/7/5 English haiku

A raindrop trickles
Sending shivers down my spine
Like your feathered touch

Dear TJ is back with his words and/or photo prompt for his Household Haiku Challenge!

Well & Sweet

and

St Malo

TJ’s prompt image

So we’ll start with one that is inspired by the photo, using the words, although I have taken some creative liberties!

Canoes, boards et al
Awaiting the ocean’s swell
And sweet waves to ride!

Ritu 2017

Now for one slightly more sensible one…

Wishing well beckons
Drop a penny, make a wish
Will my sweetheart come?

Ritu 2017

And a funny one to end with!

Lustily he said
“You look well sweet, mi Julie,”
