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
Not the way to co-exist
Please give peace a chance

Monday means it’s Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge… Check it out here!
The words this week – Cover & Colour…
Three attempts this week…
Rainbow
The Gurdwara this morning
A myriad of
Multicoloured hues shine down
Through cloud covered skies
Butterfly

Cocoon cracks open
Uncovers jewelled delights
Coloured wings unfurl
And for a giggle…
Sunglasses Needed

I cover my eyes
Can’t take much more of that shirt…
The gaudy colours!

Â
Oh yes, you know it’s Monday when the haiku start flowing! Ronovan’s weekly challenge had hit, and boy is it another doozie this week! Ronovan, with these words, you are really testing us!! Check out the challenge here.
The prompt words this week are Crane & Gold. The lovely Ron encouraged use of the thesaurus to really get into these words this time, and I have to admit I was flummoxed to start with, but I came up with two….
Mane
His halcyon mane
Enhanced by the fiery
Orb that is the sun
Happy New Year
That golden moment
We all crane our necks to see
Big Ben chime midnight

Hope you like them!

Monday Haiku Challenge Time Peeps!
Ronovan has given us interesting words to work with this week.. as he does every week..Haiku & Mind.
Read the challenge here.
And so, here are my attempts!
Haiku Form
When writing haiku
Formation matters
Five, seven, five, mind!
Haiku Tax
With so few words
Haiku sure taxes the mind
Telling a story…
Haiku Class
Fitness for the mind
Spinning words around your brain
Creating haiku
