A little tanka to start!

Wondered where he went
He took a week hiatus….
Computer issues!
But now TJ is back here
With a new prompt to tease us

The prompt word is …

Cut

I was inspired to write 3 haiku tonight. The first is associated with the photo TJ shared

Japanese Crests

Snip

Scissors snip paper
To create a masterpiece
Just open and see

The second inspired by my last week’s pursuits

Cut

As I decorate
My hard work is rewarded
With cuts on my hand

And a tanka about self-publishing

Profits – Tanka

Lining the pockets
Of the large conglomerates
To earn but a cut
Blood sweat and tears shed while writing
And self-publishing my book

Proud member of the Haiku Hub!

Monday night Haiku Time!

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge Image.

Ron’s weekly prompt words are:

Change & Mind

A Decorating Trio of Haiku!

Mind the words of old
Change is as good as a rest
Decorate that room
~
Whoever said that
Is truly out of their mind
The words need changing
~
You must bear in mind
Change is not always easy
It can be tiring

Sue’s photo prompt this week.

Nick Birds SE Ilkley 2015 uffington avebury cropton Helmsley 112

Excuse me while I go all Fifty Shades on you!

Dom/Sub
Caught
Unable to turn an inch
Imprisoned
Every move, I feel a pinch
Confined
A punishment so sweet
Penned
Spreading body heat
Enveloped
Anticipating touch
Jailed
Can sense you, oh so much
Enclosed
A feeling so intense
Caged
A desire so immense

Ritu 2016

Maybe this is because I am reading Grey at the moment by E.L. James.

Don’t shoot me!

I read the first three Fifty Shades books when they came out, I had to see what the hype was about with this one too!

Playing With Food #fruitart – Lil Man’s Creations!

I guess my healthy eating may have rubbed off on at least one member of my family!

For the last few days, straight after lunch, Lil Man has been getting creative with fruit!

Remember when you were younger? When your parents would always tell you off for playing with your food? Well, this is one time, I think I don’t need to say anything.

Check out his creations! And he eats them all up after, along with extra as he is creating!

In fact, if this way of playing encourages kids to eat fruit, I say PLAY MORE!

I Instagrammed (maybe I am getting addicted to this Instagram…) with the hashtags #fruitart #healthykids and we even got the attention of Delmonte! Lil Man was rather chuffed!
