TJ’#s Household Haiku Challenge this week gives the prompt Gold along with the photo below.

Golden fields of canola in WA

Two haiku, one for the photo and prompt word…

Golden mustard fields
A blanket of pure sunshine
Warms a sunless day

And one thinking of the prompt word.

My wedding day!

Gold and silver gifts
Wishes of true happiness
Lovingly bestowed

The prompt words are

Rhyme & Reason

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

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

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
