My wellbeing journey – The Summer Tree Edition
May the fourth be with you
Time for another tree. It’s summer, and it was the summer solstice yesterday – so let’s have something a little summery and celebratory of all things bright and beautiful shall we! Fiesta time baby!
If you’re curious, these are the other trees:
Haiku Challenge – Silk and Skin
Haiku, tanka, what more could u want…
Another week another Ronovan writes Haiku challenge. Haiku, Tanka, Haibun…they’re all options.
I do like these, they allow me to explore the good, the bad and the downright ugly when it comes to my ability to write minuscule Japanese style poems.
Lets start with the 3/5/3 Haiku and do something quite obvious.
Silk on skin
a sweet summer breeze
cooling wind
Now for a right old defiling
Silk against my skin
caressing me as I move
I love the wife’s pants
Okay maybe a Tanka now. Thats the old Haiku with two more lines added on of 7 syllables each because …well why the hell not!
Her skin is like silk
Caressing her, pulse racing
winter frosted breath
Oh wait I’m still wearing gloves
Think she needs a new razor
It’s something I guess. Happy Tuesday!
Haiku Challenge – Sweet and Scent

Oh Sweet blossom
a springtime bouquet
scent divine
Normally I like to defile the haiku and try and make them humorous because they can be such frightfully serious things.
Sweet scent alluring
filling me with a hunger
she smells like sausage
We all like sausage right? Apart from vegetarians obviously. And quite a lot of religious types. Okay, I like sausage.
She smiles sickly sweet
Best friend, her scent alluring
then texts your husband
We all know the type right.
Okay maybe a Tanka. Thats the old Haiku with two more lines added on of 7 syllables each because, let’s be honest, 17 syllables is just not enough sometimes.
Bright summer bee buzz
sweet floral scent delicious
white clouds in blue skies
plaid picnic blankets outstretched
warm sunshine on soft pink skin
It’s something I guess. Happy Thursday!
