Monday night and it is time for a haiku challenge, thanks to Lovely Ron!
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 awayRitu 2016
Hope
All it takes
A glimmer of hope
Pure magicRitu 2016
Voodoo Dolls
Painfully sharp pins
Twinkle as I push them in
Voodoo dolls are great!Ritu 2016

Monday evening… you guessed it, Lovely Ron’s Haiku Challenge! Check it out here.
The prompt words:
Lightning & Rain
I came up with 4… 3 haiku and one tanka.. The obvious subjects would be weather…
The feeling of rain
Quenching a thirst that’s unknown
After lightning strikesRitu 2016
When it rains it pours
Lightning will never strike twice
So the sayings goRitu 2016
A flash of lightning
After thunder rolls above
The Heavens open
Intense, the relief of rain
Easing pressures in the skyRitu 2016
Then one not about the state of the world outside…
Like lightning, she ran
Compliments rained upon her
Victory was hersRitu 2016
Apologies if there are any errors, I am posting this as a tired mummy/teacher!

TJ’s prompt this week, Rainbow.
I love this prompt! I had a great photo captured when I saw an upside down rainbow one day!
A Smile From Above
Colourful rainbow
Like a smile in the sky
Bringing hope to allRitu 2016
Then I remembered that one time I did indeed find a rainbow inside my house!
Unexpected Rainbow – A Tanka
A rainbow inside?
Imagine my surprise!
Caused by reflections
A CD was the true cause
…But I think it was magic!Ritu 2016

Here goes…
Tea Party – A Tanka
I learned the hard way…
Never invite a dragon
To your house for tea
Unless you prefer your food
Charred and burned to a black mess!Ritu 2016
