Monday and it’s Haiku Time! With a great prompt from Ronovan.

Sizzle & Sleek

Belly Dancer
The shimmy of hips
With sleek curves undulating
Sizzling seduction

I’d love to be able to belly dance! I have a great belly… it sorta undulates of its own accord… but that’s due to lack of exercise!
But seriously, I think the whole art form is so sensual!

Sue’s amazing Photo prompt this week.

In this photo, I saw two very different halves of the same picture, and it reminded me of the fact that life is a series of opposites, and those opposites often complement each other, like Yin and Yang!
One step at a time
Drawing closer to safety
Keep your mind focussed
On one side you feel danger
On the other calmness reigns
Yet both are required
To retain life’s harmony
Yin and Yang completes

TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge this week… check it out here.
His prompt photo was
and the prompt word, Fence.
My take…

Cricket match tension
Batter standing at the green
Fielders fence him in
Can he hit a boundary?
By God, he’s done it! Howzat!
