Lovely Ron’s prompt this week:

My haiku this week!

Old oak so strong with
Branches to house and protect
Heart of the forest
Ritu 2017
And a Senryu (ish!)

Look over the edge
Only the strong-willed succeed
My heart in my mouth!

Lovelt Ron’s prompt this week:

My haiku turned tanka this week!

Leaves overturned by
Feet stepping on broken twigs
Each snap a pleasure
The crackle of winter walks
Appreciating outside
Ritu 2017
And a Senryu

Broken hearts can heal
With a little tenderness
It’s never over

Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge! The Prompt Words are:
Here goes!
I need to mention a helper I had when penning these… Sonu Singh!

Sonu Singh the Muse!
First, a Haiku:
Trees looking eerie
Dark colours, partially clothed
This season’s costume
Ritu 2017
Then a Cinquain:
Eerie
Darkened costumes
Frightening, Haunting, Shocking
Swaying branches causing nightmares
Creepy
Ritu 2017
And a Senryu, pure silliness!: Used Weird as a synonym for Eerie
Seductive costume
Effect not quite what was planned
Less sexy more weird

Colleen’s poetry challenge gives us these words to play with:

Just a couple of takes…
Cinquain
Silence
Tranquil setting
Soothing, calming, hushing
Serenity in all spaces
Quiet
Ritu 2017
Senryu
Quietly he creeps
Into that space in my heart
Filling it with lust
Ritu 2017
Haiku
Without human ears
A space is filled with quiet
Until someone comes

Lovely Colleen has given us some great words for the Poetry challenge this week!

I’m trying my hand at the Cinquain:

Haunting
Ghostly beings
Floating, stalking, spooking
Chilling feelings spreading about
Scary
Ritu 2017
And a Senryu (Hope I got it right this time!)

From Pixabay
The ghost of your love
Haunting my life forever
I’ll never forget
Ritu 2017
Then a haiku!

From Pixabay
A ghostly presence
Haunting the doorsteps all round
Pumpkin ghoulies grin
Ritu 2017
