RonovanWrites #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #99 Flag&Fallen

Time for Ron’s weekly haiku challenge…

Yes, I am in extremely sunny Finland (really!!) at the moment, but I have to try and keep up to date with as many challenges as I can! At the moment, I am back at the hotel, the kids are trying to go to sleep, Hubby Dearest has gone out for a swift half (or 5) with my brother, so I have time!

Obviously, an apt prompt as it is Memorial Day in the USA…

Flag & Fallen

Gone, But Not Forgotten

Today raise a flag
In honour of those soldiers
True fallen heroes
Protected flag and country
They’re gone but not forgotten

Monday night and it is time for a haiku challenge, thanks to Lovely Ron!

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge Image.

Sorry, no images today to complement the Haiku, but I was a little tied up!

Eyes

Just a flash of those
Bewitchingly feline eyes
Take my breath away

Ritu 2016

Hope

All it takes
A glimmer of hope
Pure magic

Voodoo Dolls

Painfully sharp pins
Twinkle as I push them in
Voodoo dolls are great!

The prompt words:

Lightning & Rain

I came up with 4… 3 haiku and one tanka.. The obvious subjects would be weather…

rain 1

The feeling of rain
Quenching a thirst that’s unknown
After lightning strikes

Ritu 2016

rain

When it rains it pours
Lightning will never strike twice
So the sayings go

Ritu 2016

rain 3

A flash of lightning
After thunder rolls above
The Heavens open
Intense, the relief of rain
Easing pressures in the sky

Ritu 2016

Then one not about the state of the world outside…

Rain runner

Like lightning, she ran
Compliments rained upon her
Victory was hers

Ritu 2016

Apologies if there are any errors, I am posting this as a tired mummy/teacher!

Solitude

In a place of calm

Refreshes

Ritu 2016

Haiku in traditional 3/5/3 format

This is where I truly find solitude, in a good way, back home at my parents. This is the view from my bedroom when I go home. I can look out there, and feel alone, in a good way, knowing the kids are being looked after, and usually Hubby Dearest hasn’t come with us, so this room, that view, is my haven, my place of r & r…

And these are the times that solitude truly refreshes the soul!

Of course, I don’t get much time alone, I spend most of it with my parents, but when I do get that time, I cherish it!

Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge #90 Friend & Shiver

 

When that ‘friend’ shows up

A pure shiver of delight

Do I look my best?
