Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge #75 – Charm & Look

 

haiku-challenge-image.pngMonday is Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge, and last night I was so busy wrapping gifts for kids teachers and writing Christmas cards, I was unable to post my entry.  So here it is, on a Tuesday morning instead!

Oh he has raised the bar again this week, has Ron! Yes, you can do your usual haiku using the prompt words, Look & Charm, but the added challenge is to have the haiku with opposing sentences. So the first be a positive and a second a negative… or something like that!

And another extra, try and write a Freku… this consists of free verse, and a traditional haiku that ties the whole feel of the verse in 3 lines.

PHEW!

Check his challenge out here.

Ok, So I have had a go. Let’s see whether I actually got this right, or whether I should stick to what I know!

Unaware, I fell for you
And all that you did say
How did you beguile me so
And trick me in such a way?

I thought we were together
Like one, forever more
I gave my love, my heart to you
Then you walked right out the door

Broken now, I stand here
Feeling used and so unpure
I gave my innocence to you
All that talk was just a lure

———

Looking like a gent
You blinded me with your charms
Like a proper cad

I hope this worked! Please, let me know what you think!

Ironing…

image

It keeps on growing,
My huge pile of ironing
Is neverending…

As if I didn’t have enough on with sleepovers and sick kids, and running on empty…
There was a huge pile of ironing staring at me!
So armed with water to refill the iron, and The X-Factor final to keep me company I managed to tackle it!
Phew!
So, theoretically, tomorrow, I just have an early run to take the boys to a football match, and mend my daughter, not forgetting to bake some cookies … I might be able to squeeze a nap in too!
😯:?:)

Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge – #74 – Cake & Wolf

image

Monday night means sitting at the kids drum lesson, and thinking up Haiku for the lovely Ronovan, and his weekly haiku challenge. Check it out here.

The prompt works this week are Wolf & Cake… Hmmm interesting… Could be very obvious… Or not!

Ok so obvious…

Dessert
Wolfing down dinner
With my eyes on the dessert
Rich chocolate cake!

And the deeper…
image

Victim – a tanka
Fangs encrusted with
Blood from his many victims
He turns and glances
Fixing me with his cold eyes…
His wolfish stare pins me down.

But I Smile Anyway...

Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge #73 – Black & White

image

Monday night means me sat at my kids Dhol and Bhangra lesson, thinking up haiku for Ronovan’s Weekly Challenge… Check it out here.

The prompt words this week… Black & White

The Same
Whether black or white
Makes no difference to me
It’s your heart that counts

Cleansing
Your purity will
Wash away all the darkness
Colouring my life

Glass
A day of black thoughts
Brings out the devil in me
Need a glass of white

A life for a life
