Ron’s Haiku Challenge prompt this week…
Lark & Rush
Having a good time
With those you want to be with
Time tends to fly byAnd
Flying in a rush
The mummy lark gathers food
For her chirping chicks
Apologies… I believe I am coming down with a cold… my inspiration was a little flat today!

TJ’s prompt, on his travels to Oxford…
Ghost
Do you believe in ghosts? I am not sure, but I do think there is ‘something’ out there, some form of energy that may show past lives… Orbs have always fascinated me. I love to search photos, to see whether there are any in mine!
I often find ones around Lil Man, in photos, but not a scary thought, more a soothing presence around him…
And on to my haiku.

Sacha’s back, after a little #Writespiration hiatus, with another cool prompt!
Write about a Kaleidoscope – maybe its a kaleidoscopic fantasy world, or a memory, a maze or perhaps a toy. Let your mind wander and see where it takes you. Entries short this week – under 100 words, deadline 9th October. Post entries in the comments or use a pingback.
So, here is my entry!
“Quick Cap’n! They be gaining on us!”
Captain John Bird hurriedly fished his spyglass out of his pocket to see what this vessel was that chasing them.
“It looks like they’re preparing the cannon, and, that be a pirate flag on their mast!”
Focussing the glass, Captain Bird looked out, but all he could see was a rainbow of colours, no ship.
“Damn this thing!” he thought, pulling his handkerchief out to clean the lens.
It was only then that he realised, in the hurry to board his ship, he’d picked up his son’s kaleidoscope instead of his spyglass…
Thank you and Good night!
