Beware, one glance at
Medusa’s serpentine locks
Hypnotising hair
Just a moment’s glimpse – Fatal
Turned into stone forever

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

Feet sink into sand
Walking along the coastline
Shells litter my way

Just coasting along
Where’s that Shell petrol station?
I’m flat outta gas!

MACEY RUFFLE COAT

From Coast Website – £199!

Saw a coat in Coast
Can I shell out all that cash
On just a jacket?

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,”
