Keep it cool. Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge

Well, well, this week’s haiku prompt ‘Blow & Please’ simply made me think of all the recent politically stirred madness going on out there.

Let’s keep calm people, these trying times will surely pass.

Please, keep calm, don’t blow your lid,

for a broken, sick mind

is certainly not that easy to repair.

A dictator has lost his senses

please, fetch the doctor

before he blows us all up.

Silent Flow

For some reason, when I saw Ronovan’s Haiku prompt for this week, my thought went to resilience. We may be making efforts and at first, it seems like nothing is happening, but with persistence, we will certainly see good results.

Though silent still waters flow

with persistent effort

it tears down hardened rocks.

Coast Along – Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge

I laughed out loud when I saw Ronovan’s prompt ‘car & coast’ for the weekly haiku. I had just written a post about road trips and my desire to travel, so it’s in sync 🙂

Get into the car

to simply coast

with nowhere in mind.

Her laughter, little skips, and spins

around the dancing tinkling water fountain,

a simple statement of Life’s joy.

Ringing my bell…

The children press my doorbell in mischief,

it’s ringing, jingling Christmas tune

has become their temporary source of delight

I smiled when I saw the prompt for Ronovan’s weekly haiku door & bell because it was easy to choose what to write about.

My Christmas doorbell that I put last week has been pressed twice more than usual, sometimes by my own children and sometimes, I hear the high excited voice of the neighbours little daughters as they press it and run down the passage.

Their squeals make me smile 🙂

Bearing gifts of gold, myrrh, and frankincense

Brutal – Ronovan writes weekly haiku challenge

 

Image result for images of cheetah and gazelle

Life in the jungle is brutal

The Cheetah pursued with power and grace

The gazelle raced for her life

Image result for American flag

The race is not to the fleet,

neither power, a free gift

but wisdom from above trumps them all.
