Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: Sneak & Night

Let’s keep it simple shall we.

For some reason this was sRonovan provides the words. Then a haiku follows

Loves light calls at night

young heart sneaks in, passions burn

wrong room, fondles mum

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday: GROW and HONOUR

I’ll keep trying

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday

I don’t take many things seriously as you probably know but I am going to make a concerted effort to do Colleen’s challenges properly when I do them. I have scant regard for the correct use of haiku and tanka and often do such beastly things to them but I think it is also important to show appreciation for the little blighters because they are so fabulous when done right.

This week the challenge was to use synonyms for GROW and HONOUR. I used NURTURE and TRIBUTE.

Gold fingers nurture

and coax to life once again

with beauty tributes

to those who have gone before

and birth those then to follow

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday: CHARM and TIME

It’s something I guess

This week the challenge was to use synonyms for CHARM and TIME.  I used COAX and AGE.

Coaxed from cold rich earth

with promise of golden clothes

 

she smiles and walks forth

And across the land she glides

light after an age of dark

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: Regal & Hopeful

To be clear, I am a big fan of the Royals.

Ronovan provides the words. Then a haiku follows.  Of sorts.

Sweet Megan Merkel

Hopeful of regal station

with ginger bollocks
