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

And one more, a little bit of fun!

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?Ritu 2016

Monday and it’s Haiku Time! With a great prompt from Ronovan.


Belly Dancer
The shimmy of hips
With sleek curves undulating
Sizzling seductionRitu 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 prompt this week…

Or the word Mushrooms…
I used my artisticΒ licence…
Sea of umbrellas
As far as the eye can see
