Irate and Amused…

July 11, 2017 jacquelineobyikocha9 Comments

Ronovan’s prompt for this week ‘amused & irate,’ reminds me of a recent episode at the airport where one lady started throwing temper tantrums when she wasn’t allowed to pass customs and immigration with some items in her back pack.

These days, it seems people are just ready to get into a squabble at the drop of a hat and on FaceBook you wonder if most of these folks who attack total strangers with their virulent words have lost their minds?

The angry lady became irate,

her curses, slurs and loud nasty behaviour

left us unamused and irritated.

Oceans Breeze…

Go lounge in a hammock,
listen to the sound of oceans breeze,
and water lapping the shore.

the sounds of the ocean
will surely send you to dreamy sleep
of seashores, shells, and adventures.

I love the prompt Ronovan gave for this week’s haiku challenge, ‘Ocean & Shore’ unfortunately, it’s unimaginably hot for such indulgence.

Fan those embers
for the flame of passion
to stay kindled.

Don’t use a roaring flame
to roast your yam in Summers heat
just the embers will do

Everyone has a light and dark side

sometimes, our darkness runs deep

then a ray of light interrupts it.

Bachata – Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku

When I saw the haiku prompt please & tease, Chaka Demus song ‘tease me, tease me, tease me, baby, till I lose control,’ came to my lips, I knew my prompt had to be musical.

Bachata is a riveting dance
its sensual moves teases all the senses
and certainly, pleases the heart

Miracle…Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge

May 23, 2017May 23, 2017 jacquelineobyikocha2 Comments

She called herself a realist,
believing in only what she could explain,
until a miracle saved her.

Nothing can save you now,
not even a miracle;
and then the unexpected happened.

Jacqueline

Miracles do happen. Every day.

Plain and Puzzling…

May 9, 2017May 10, 2017 jacquelineobyikocha9 Comments

When I saw Ronovan’s prompt for this week’s haiku ‘plain & fast’ I didn’t know where to go with it so I left it and went to brew myself a cup of something to drink.

I don’t know if it’s the cheap cup of homemade Cappucino that I am sipping, but as I stood by the kitchen counter pondering over something that’s being going on in my life in recent days, a thought just whispered into my ear ‘life is plain and simple, but we choose to complicate it and lose finding the beauty in every situation when we are in such a hurry to get past an uncomfortable experience.’ That was my answer right there 🙂

So, thanks to the little God of Thoughts and my cup of Cappucino.
