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
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.

Ronovan writes weekly haiku challenge – Sing & Peace
I like rain, but not lightning. It still scares me especially when it crackles fiercely, though I wear my big mama panties, grit my teeth and pretend to my children that I ain’t scared. I prefer to be ensconced in my warm abode during such weather. Preferably, with a mug of warm cocoa or tea and some biscuits.
When possible, I always prefer to be ensconced in my warm abode during such weather. Preferably, with a mug of warm cocoa or tea and some biscuits.
Now Ronovan’s prompt makes me hungry and desirous of some gentle rainfall.
Huddling in bed under my cosy duvet
I enjoy a blissful read
forgetting the fierce lightning and heavy rain.

Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.
Brand me whole as only you can
That the entire score of me
Knows nothing but the fullness of you.
Courtesy of Wild Daffodil’s 8-year-old granddaughter Miss E, who sent in a poem to Ron’s haiku, we get some interesting set of word prompts this week ‘dragon and invite.’ Well, let’s see who’s breathing fire 😉
With the haiku prompt of dragon invite
my mind takes me back
to Bruce Lee’s movie, enter the Dragon.
****
Please don’t invite her for the party
She’s such a feisty dragon
Her flaming tongue will incinerate my guests.

I certainly like the glitter Ronovan scattered on our path this week. Life’s too short not to have some bling in it 😉
She’s a diamond of the first water.
Even the older ladies admired
her flawless, pearl smooth and glowing skin
—-
Clear cut carats of real diamonds sparkled
on her gold based crown
mixed with countless mother of pearl seeds.

I like this week’s Haiku prompt ‘ Sun & Moon,’ from Ronovan. What do you think?
Hair like silk spun gold
She had him enthralled with her looks
Singing under the glowing moonlight.
*****
Limpid pools of her eyes
Beckoned to him like the mysterious moon
Twinkling like glints of sun rays.
*****
He bought her precious jewels
That shone bright like the golden Sun
And proposed beneath the moonbeams.
