Ronovan’s weekly haiku prompt this week, two great words to play with!
Three very different takes.
Can I hold it in?
This secret, burning my brain
Need to let it out

Secrets of the spring
Waiting for the burning sun
Before revealing
***
Secretly you stroke
Fingers leave a burning trail
You know just the spotRitu 2017

Love is a feeling that comes in many strengths.
The deep passion you feel for your other half.
The ‘I’d die for you’ love you feel for your children.
The all encompassing love you feel for your pet.
The ‘crush’ love you feel for that celebrity…
Affectionate love is that kind of feeling that just makes you go ‘Awwww!’
When you think something or someone is cute. Like a baby, or a child. It isn’t quite as strong as love, per se, but affection is definitely a feeling in itself, that manifests itself into a type of love. A type of tenderness, fondness…
When I look at you
I feel a strong affection
And want to hug you!Ritu 2017

Monday and that means Ronovan’s Haiku prompt!
The words… Flow & Tear.
My inspiration today is my sensitive nature… any book, film or soap opera can get my tear ducts flowing!

Cannot stem the flow
Tears rush freely from my eyes

Day 22 of Linda’s #JusJoJan challenge, hosted today by my dear blog sis Judy! Do you know her? She is great! A fantastic poet, and the sweetest heart! Check her blog, Edwina’s Episodes out here!
The Just Jot It January 22nd prompt, brought to you by Rosemary of Rosemary Carlson, Freelance Writer, is: “contempt.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. And make sure you stop by and say hi to Rosemary as well! Here’s her blog: https://rosemarycarlson.com/
Contempt.
It’s a pretty harsh word to use, isn’t it?
Hate, despisement, disdain, scorn, abhorrence…
They all mean more or less the same thing.
I really don’t like to use those words in my life, to be honest.
I’d much rather use the more wishy-washy “don’t like” or “not too fond of” phrases. (In reality of course, because when it comes to my writing, the words above are much more powerful!)
So here is a little haiku to tie it up.
Eyes filled with contempt
Impossible to forget
A burning hatred inside
