Haiku Hub Floating Challenge #1 – Heritage

Now, some of you may have heard, TJ over at La Vie Et Trop Courte Por Boire Du Mauvais Vin, created a Haiku Hub, where he has invited all manner of Haiku writers to join, and a couple of weeks ago, he put it out there to us ‘Hubbers’ to think of some challenges to throw out to all Haiku enthusiasts!

You know me, always up for a challenge, and I volunteered some ideas, and in turn, TJ volunteered me to be the first host!

So, here I am hosting my first ever challenge post!

I went walking in a nearby country park with the family a couple of weeks back and took plenty of photos. One of them cried out to me to be used!

The prompt photo is as above, and a word prompt to use is

Heritage

Use either, or both together, to create your haiku. Think outside the box if you want, substitute the word Heritage for something similar…

My take:

Roots

Fallen and exposed
Unearthed, shifted here and there
Though my roots, still strong

Whatever you want to do! Just link back to this post within the week,  and I will compile a post with all the entries on Wednesday 31st August. Please check and makes sure it has pinged back to the post, or leave a link in the comments.

Then all you need to do is look out for the next challenge which TJ will repost on his blog, as and when it is live next month!

Two for this week…

I need no reason
To write you a rhyme of love
You just inspire me

Writing a sonnet
A reason for every rhyme
But not for haiku

Thursday photo prompt – Glimpsed – #writephoto

Sue’s brilliant photo prompt for her #writephoto challenge.

P1110985

Ethereal
She is there
My Guardian Angel

Looking in on me
In my hour of need
Though I may sit
Alone inside
One glance
Is all it takes
To feel secure

Knowing

My Guardian Angel
She is there
Ethereal

TJ’s Household Haiku -Cut

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!

RonovanWrites #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #110 Change&Mind

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

(a very tired) Ritu 2016
