I totally enjoyed this prompt for this week’s haiku. Several options popped into my head but I settled for this two ‘cos of the message behind them.

buried in the deep cups

Thank you Ronovan, I enjoyed this prompt.
Soft cooing sounds of comfort
the dove reminds,
the land is richly green
I felt a bit rusty writing this haiku. It’s been many months of no practice but after several attempts, I managed to cobble something that I like.
Thank you for an interesting prompt Ronovan. Grass & Dove
This haiku might sound morbid, but it’s just a statement of fact. Each moment that we receive never comes back again. When I think of time, I think of the fact that it’s our most valuable commodity and there’s simply not enough of it. Every moment counts make the best of it.

Once I saw Ronovans’ prompt, woke & up, I chuckled. Getting out of bed these days has been a struggle ‘cos I’ve been sleeping unusually late. The first haiku depicts this ‘bedmatics struggle’ and the second haiku has political connotations.
The shrilling alarm woke me
but it was hard to get up,
my pillow held me down.
If we don’t stay ‘woke,’
and rise up to change the paradigm
we all risk losing everything.

Enfolded in warm brawny arms
their hearts thump in a blissful state,
love is a good thing
The cheesy tyrant will try,
but he can’t take our hope away.
We must hold onto it.
Right at my homes’ doorstep
I free body parts trapped in what-not,
it’s always a blessed relief!
Everything freely wiggles and jiggles
deep sighs of contentment permeate my being
home, where I can just be me.

After a brief hiatus, it’s a pleasure to participate in Ronovan’s weekly haiku challenge ‘home and free.’
The chances are equal,
to fail or to succeed
the choice is yours.
I took a chance
and it doubled my gains
I’ll take another one.

I got to squeeze in two haikus for the price of one 🙂 Great prompt Ronovan.
They say less is more
My chance of getting slim and less
is becoming a fat chance
Opportunities are slim these days
Grab every chance you’ve got
Hold onto them real tight
