Lovely prompt ‘hope & stay,’ from Ronovan for this week’s haiku. I came up with several versions and settled for these two.
Stay. Hope whispered to me.
You will be there sooner than expected.
See how far you’ve come.
Don’t lose hope.
Just stay committed and focused,
you will triumph.

When I saw Ronovan’s prompt for this week’s haiku ‘painted & lady’ I chuckled, wondering what prompted his train of thought.
These days, I marvel at how much time some ladies spend painting and brushing and painting some more. It just seems too exhausting taking all that time applying layers and layers of makeup that one would wash off at the end of the day. Just a little dab should suffice.
The lady wears heavy makeup
I wonder if she recognizes herself anymore
beneath her bright painted mask.

A cheerful prompt ‘Party & Enjoy,’ for this week’s haiku from Ronovan. Many haikus silly haikus came to mind, but I settled on these ones.
Cosy party for me and I,
lazy couch, books, cookies, music to enjoy,
now that is just divine.
He is such a mooch
and a known party pooper to boot
nothing to enjoy around him

Fate hands us many burdens.
It’s how we carry on with them
that makes or breaks us.
You make your burden light,
or you make it heavier than necessary
your fate lies with you.

She gathers beautiful pink seashells,
in recollection of the days you lived,
and how you loved them.

Ronovan writes weekly haiku challenge ‘pink & shell.’
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.
It was a desert
but I chose to plant my dreams there,
now everyone comes to rest under my shade
for it has become an oasis
