It’s Monday, and time to think about the weekly challenge set by Ronovan’s, on his blog… Check it out here.
The two words, as a prompt, are Pen & Muse…
Musing quietly
Wondering which thoughts shall flow
Through my ink today…
Where are you, my muse?
It’s true, you inspire my words…
Thoughts marked down by pen
Silently she stood
Letter clasped close to her breast
Thinking what to write

Monday arrives, and so does the weekly haiku challenge set by our dear Ronovan.
Please check out his challenge here.
This week the prompt words are Call & Cheer.
Can I say before I write, I am not feeling too ‘cheery’ at the moment, due to some sad personal news. The only ‘calls’ I had, held sadness…
If this colours the way I think about my haiku, I apologise…
——-
Gone – Tanka
I call out to you
As you seem to be floating
Far away from me
It hits me, like a bullet
Happiness evaporates
——–
You left me then. Gone
No word to say you were off.
I feel so empty
Knowing that I shall not see
Your cheery face anymore…
Ritu 2015
I shall add another, more light hearted one that I also penned…
Last Orders – Haiku
The barman calls time
Then changes his mind… Lock In!
Cheers erupt all round!

Monday came and Ronovan set us his weekly challenge again. Check it out Here.
The prompt words this week are Pine & Grief.
Strangely simple, yet oh so tough too. You could be very obvious, but then again, obscurity could hit too…
What will I manage to come up with this time???
Sonu Singh’s Lament
Pining for his clan
He cannot contain his grief
Left alone… Again
The Things You Do For Love…
Bed of pine needles
Mere moments of sheer pleasure
But hours of pure grief
There you go, two for the price of one!
🙂

Yes yes yes it’s Monday! My dear challenger Ronovan has come up with a doozy of a prompt this week! Check it out here!
The words… Flesh and Tide… Hmmmmmm what to do…??!!
Need – A Tanka
I need to touch you
Feel your flesh against mine own
A tide of desire
Rising up inside of me
Reaching that crescendo soon

Haiku time with Ronovan again!
I hope I do it justice, I’m suffering from a terrible cold today! But for those of you that wish, read about the challenge here.
He hears a startling
Noise, echoing through the woods
The proud stag stands tall.
